| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Antoninus Pius facing right, rendered in the provincial style characteristic of Judean civic coinage. The emperor's effigy is portrayed with his characteristic beard and laureate wreath, the portrait occupying the central field. A Latin legend surrounds the bust, reading IMP CAES HA ANTONINVS AVG P P P, identifying the emperor by his imperial titles. The flan is irregular and slightly broad, consistent with hammered provincial bronze coinage of the mid-second century AD. |

| Reverse description | Bare-headed and draped bust of Marcus Aurelius as Caesar facing right, portrayed in the provincial style typical of Aelia Capitolina civic bronzes. The reverse legend M ANT AVRELIVS CAES COL AEL CAP encircles the bust, identifying Marcus Aurelius in his capacity as Caesar and referencing the colonial status of Aelia Capitolina. The reverse field shows typical wear and patination consistent with circulated provincial bronze. The design reflects the joint association of Antoninus Pius and his intended successor, a common honorific practice on provincial coinage of this era. |
