| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Antoninus Pius facing right, the emperor depicted with characteristic beard and radiate wreath of laurel leaves. The legend encircles the bust in Greek characters reading ΑΝΤωΝΙΝΟϹ ϹΕΒ ΕΥϹΕΒ, denoting his imperial title and the epithet Eusebes (the Pious). The portrait displays the refined provincial style characteristic of the Alexandrian mint, with careful attention to facial features befitting an imperial effigy. |

| Reverse description | Dikaiosyne, the personification of Justice, seated left on a high-backed throne, holding a pair of scales in her extended right hand and a cornucopia in her left arm. The regnal date L ΙΖ (Year 17, corresponding to 153–154 AD) is distributed in the field, with L to the lower left and ΙΖ to the right of the figure. The composition follows the standard Alexandrian tetradrachm reverse convention, rendered in the bold, somewhat compact style typical of mid-second-century Egyptian provincial coinage. |
