| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Antoninus Pius facing right, with curled hair and full beard rendered in the Alexandrian style. The emperor's effigy is shown with traces of drapery visible at the shoulder. The Greek legend encircles the bust along the periphery of the flan. The portrait exhibits the characteristic heavy relief and individualized features typical of Alexandrian provincial coinage of the Antonine period. |
