| Obverse description | Laureate, cuirassed and paludamentum-draped bust of Emperor Antoninus Pius facing right, viewed from the rear, with the folds of the military cloak visible over the left shoulder. The portrait is rendered in the provincial Alexandrian style characteristic of Egyptian imperial coinage. The obverse legend in Greek encircles the bust, identifying the emperor by his full titulature. |

| Obverse lettering | ΑΥΤ Κ Τ ΑΙΛ ΑΔΡΙ ΑΝΤωΝΙΝΟϹ ΕΥϹΕΒ (Translation: Emperor Caesar Titus Aelius Hadrianus Antoninus Pius) |
| Reverse description | Jugate busts of Helios and Selene facing right, with Helios depicted radiate-headed and draped in the foreground, and Selene wearing a stephane behind him, both busts resting upon a crescent. This pairing of the solar and lunar deities was a favored reverse type on Alexandrian provincial coinage, reflecting the city's syncretic religious traditions. The date regnal legend appears in the field. |
