| Obverse description | Bare-headed, laureate bust of Emperor Antoninus Pius facing right, with realistic portraiture characteristic of Antonine coinage from the Alexandrian mint. The emperor's neck is visible below the truncation, and the laurel wreath is rendered in fine detail. The surrounding Greek legend reads ΑΝΤωΝΙΝΟϹ ϹΕΒ ΕΥϹΕΒ, identifying the emperor with his title Sebastos (Augustus) and the epithet Eusebes (Pius). The overall style reflects the provincial Alexandrian engraving tradition, with a somewhat broader and flatter relief than contemporary Roman imperial issues. |
