Obverse description	Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Antoninus Pius facing right, seen from the rear, with the paludamentum visible over the left shoulder. The emperor's head is rendered with finely detailed laurel wreath and beard. The legend encircles the bust within a beaded border, identifying the emperor by his full titulature. The die work reflects the characteristic provincial style of the Alexandrian mint, with bold, high-relief portraiture.
