| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Antoninus Pius facing right, rendered in the Alexandrian provincial style with characteristically broad, slightly stylised modelling. The emperor's portrait displays a short beard and laurel wreath, with drapery visible at the truncation of the left shoulder. A circular Greek legend surrounds the bust within the field, partially visible due to the coin's irregular flan with edge chips. |

| Reverse description | Zeus standing facing, his head turned to the left, holding a long sceptre in his left hand and a thunderbolt in his outstretched right hand. An eagle stands at his feet, a motif emblematic of Alexandrian civic coinage. The regnal date legend appears in the field. The reverse type reflects the Hellenistic religious iconography characteristic of Alexandrian bronze coinage under the Antonine dynasty. |
