| Obverse description | Bare laureate head of Emperor Antoninus Pius facing right, rendered in the typical provincial style of the Mysian mint. The portrait displays the emperor's characteristic full beard and mature facial features. A partially preserved legend runs along the outer border of the flan, with only fragmentary Greek characters visible due to the irregular striking and heavy wear. The flan shows considerable patination consistent with prolonged circulation. |

| Reverse description | Standing draped figure of Ceres (Demeter) facing right, depicted in the classical provincial manner. The goddess holds an ear of grain in her raised right hand and a long torch in her left hand, emblems of her dominion over agriculture and the mysteries of Eleusis. The figure is rendered with careful attention to drapery folds despite the heavy wear of the flan. A partially preserved Latin legend arcs along the outer field, with only fragmentary letters legible. |
