| Obverse description | Laureate head of Antoninus Pius facing left, with traces of drapery visible at the truncation of the neck. The portrait is rendered in the typical Alexandrian provincial style, with a prominent laureate wreath of olive leaves crowning the emperor's head. The Greek legend runs along the upper and right periphery of the flan, partially visible despite wear. The coin exhibits an irregular flan with a dark olive-brown patina characteristic of Alexandrian bronze coinage of the Antonine period. |
