| Obverse description | Bare-headed effigy of Antoninus Pius facing right, with traces of drapery visible at the shoulder, set within a circular border. The portrait is rendered in the typical Alexandrian provincial style, with the emperor's characteristic beard and mature facial features. The surrounding Greek legend is distributed around the periphery of the flan. The coin shows heavy wear and green patination consistent with prolonged circulation, with the flan exhibiting slight irregularity at the edges. |

| Reverse description | Eagle depicted standing facing, with head turned to the left and wings spread outward in a heraldic display, holding a wreath in its beak. This reverse type is characteristic of Alexandrian coinage of the Antonine period, with the regnal year legend positioned in the field. The design reflects the strong Hellenistic artistic tradition of the Alexandrian mint, with the eagle serving as a symbol of imperial power and divine authority. |
