| 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 effigy is rendered in the standard military portrait style typical of Alexandrian provincial coinage of the Antonine period. The circumferential Greek legend runs along the outer border of the flan. The flan is irregular and shows surface wear consistent with circulation, with a notch visible at the left edge. |

| Reverse description | Nike, the personification of Victory, stands facing right with one foot raised and placed upon a helmet resting on the ground. She leans forward to inscribe a shield mounted on a short column, holding a stylus or palm branch. The figure is rendered in the dynamic Hellenistic style characteristic of Alexandrian civic coinage. The regnal year legend appears in the field and the word ΝΙΚΗ is inscribed on the shield itself. |
