| Obverse description | Laureate, cuirassed and paludamentum-draped bust of Antoninus Pius facing right, depicted from a rear three-quarter perspective. The emperor's portrait is rendered in the provincial style characteristic of Alexandrian coinage, with the paludamentum (military cloak) visible over the left shoulder. The obverse legend in Greek characters encircles the bust, naming the emperor in his full titulature. |

| Reverse description | Draped bust of Hermes facing right, the deity distinguished by the lotus flower worn upon his head and a caduceus — the herald's staff entwined with serpents — visible over his shoulder. The reverse design exemplifies the Alexandrian practice of depicting Egyptian and Greco-Roman syncretic religious imagery, here blending the Greek messenger-god with Egyptian iconographic elements. The regnal year legend appears in the field. |
