| Obverse description | Laureate, cuirassed and paludamentum-draped bust of Antoninus Pius facing right, seen from centre, with the Imperial effigy rendered in the provincial Greek civic tradition. The obverse legend encircles the bust in Greek characters, identifying the emperor in his pre-accession titulature as Caesar. |

| Reverse description | Leto seated left, her head enveloped in a billowing veil, flanked by two standing female figures facing each other who jointly hold a large veil canopy stretched above her in a gesture of divine protection or parturition ritual. The composition references the mythological birth narrative sacred to Ephesian cult, executed in the fluid drapery style characteristic of Ephesian civic bronzes. The reverse field carries the magistrate's name and civic ethnic in Greek legend. |
