| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Antoninus Pius facing right, with traces of drapery visible at the shoulder, rendered in the provincial Alexandrian style. The emperor's effigy is portrayed with characteristic mature features, the laurel wreath denoting his imperial dignity. A partial circular legend runs along the left and upper periphery of the flan, though heavily worn. The bust is set within the field without additional devices, consistent with Alexandrian coinage conventions of the mid-second century AD. |

| Reverse description | Two Dioscuri, Castor and Pollux, each crowned with a radiate star, depicted on horseback riding towards one another in a confronted composition. Between the two mounted figures stands a thymiaterion (incense altar or censer), serving as the central dividing element. The scene reflects the syncretic religious iconography characteristic of Alexandrian provincial coinage, blending Greco-Roman deities with Egyptian cult traditions. The date legend appears in the field, recording the regnal year in the Egyptian calendar system. |
