| Obverse description | Bare-headed, cuirassed bust of Marcus Aurelius, draped with paludamentum, facing right and seen from the rear in three-quarter view, presented in the characteristic Alexandrian provincial style. The legend is disposed around the field in Greek characters, identifying the subject as Marcus Aurelius Caesar. The portrait exhibits fine engraving typical of Alexandrian workshop production of the mid-second century AD. |

| Reverse description | Nilus, the personification of the Nile River, reclines to the left, his body draped, resting against a crocodile positioned beside him. He holds a large cornucopia from which emerges a Genius figure extending a wreath, accompanied by a reed. Above the scene, the regnal year numeral ΙϚ (16) appears in the field, denoting the 16th year of Antoninus Pius. The composition is a quintessential Alexandrian type celebrating the life-giving abundance of the Nile. |
