| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Antoninus Pius facing right, portrayed with characteristic beard and mature physiognomy in the Alexandrian provincial style. The radiate laurel wreath crowns the emperor's head, with locks of hair visible at the nape. The imperial titulature runs in Greek characters around the periphery of the flan, beginning at upper left and continuing clockwise. The portrait is rendered in moderate relief typical of Alexandrian bronze coinage of the mid-second century AD. |
