| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Antoninus Pius facing right, with draped shoulder visible, rendered in the Alexandrian provincial style with characteristically broad, slightly coarse workmanship. The emperor's mature, bearded effigy is depicted with naturalistic detail typical of mid-Antonine portraiture. The encircling Greek legend runs along the periphery of the flan. The coin exhibits a dark brown patina with areas of green encrustation consistent with long burial in Egyptian soil. |
