| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Antoninus Pius facing right, rendered in the provincial Alexandrian style with a bearded effigy. The legend surrounds the bust in Greek characters, identifying the emperor by his full imperial titulature. The portrait exhibits the characteristic broad, fleshy features associated with Alexandrian coinage of the Antonine period. The flan is broad and slightly irregular, as typical of Egyptian provincial bronze issues. |

| Reverse description | Radiate-headed and draped bust of Sarapis Pantheos facing right, wearing the kalathos and atef crown, with a ram's horn curling around the ear — attributes identifying the deity in his syncretic Pantheos aspect. To the left of the bust, a serpent entwines around a trident, symbolizing divine power and protection. To the right, a cornucopia denotes abundance and prosperity. The date regnal formula appears in the field. The composition reflects the rich iconographic syncretism characteristic of Alexandrian religious coinage under the Antonine emperors. |
