| Obverse description | Laureate, draped bust of Antoninus Pius facing right, rendered in the provincial style typical of Syro-Palestinian civic coinage. The emperor's effigy occupies the central field, with the laurel wreath clearly indicated around the head. The surrounding Greek legend runs clockwise along the periphery of the flan. The flan is somewhat irregular, consistent with provincial hammered bronze production of the Antonine period. |
