| Obverse description | Laureate head of Emperor Antoninus Pius facing right, with finely rendered facial features and drapery visible at the shoulder truncation. The imperial effigy is rendered in the typical Alexandrian provincial style, with the laurel wreath clearly delineated around the head. A circular Greek legend surrounds the portrait field, partially legible due to the coin's irregular flan and surface wear. The overall style reflects the Alexandrian mint's characteristic treatment of imperial portraiture during the second century AD. |

| Reverse description | Nike, the goddess of victory, advancing left in flowing robes, holding a wreath extended forward in her right hand and a trophy over her left shoulder. The figure is rendered in the round, with drapery folds visible across the body in the characteristic Alexandrian provincial style. The date regnal legend appears in the field to the left of the figure. The flan is irregular with several edge chips, though the main design elements remain clearly identifiable. |
