| Obverse description | Laureate, cuirassed and paludamentum-draped bust of Antoninus Pius facing right, seen from the rear, presenting a three-quarter back view. The emperor's head is adorned with a laurel wreath, and the military dress — comprising a cuirass overlaid with the paludamentum — reflects his imperial and martial authority. The legend encircles the bust within the field, identifying the emperor by his full titulature. |

| Reverse description | Draped bust of Sarapis facing right, wearing the characteristic kalathos (modius crown) and taenia. Beneath the bust, an eagle stands right with head turned left and wings spread, serving as a divine attribute of the deity. Two stars appear in the field flanking the composition, reinforcing the celestial and chthonic symbolism associated with Sarapis. The regnal year date appears in the field as the sole legend. The overall design is characteristic of Alexandrian provincial bronze coinage of the Antonine period. |
