| Obverse description | Laureate, cuirassed and paludamentum-draped bust of Emperor Antoninus Pius facing right, seen from the rear in the Alexandrian provincial style. The emperor's head is encircled by a laurel wreath, with the drapery of the military cloak visible across the left shoulder. The obverse legend runs around the periphery in Greek characters, identifying the emperor by his full titulature. The portrait displays the typical broad-shouldered, slightly abstracted rendering characteristic of Alexandrian mint production under the Antonine dynasty. |

| Obverse lettering | ΑΥΤ Κ Τ ΑΙΛ ΑΔΡ ΑΝΤωΝΙΝΟϹ ΕΥϹΕΒ (Translation: Emperor Caesar Titus Aelius Hadrian Antoninus Pius) |
| Reverse description | Zeus Olympios enthroned left on a high-backed throne, his body draped, holding a long sceptre in his left hand and a thunderbolt in his outstretched right hand. An eagle stands at his feet facing left, a characteristic divine attribute. The date legend L ΤΕΤΑΡΤΟΥ is distributed in the field around the figure, indicating regnal year four of Antoninus Pius. The composition follows the standard Alexandrian civic reverse type, rendered in the bold but somewhat flat relief typical of large provincial bronzes of this period. |
