| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Antoninus Pius facing right, wearing paludamentum over cuirass, rendered in the provincial style characteristic of Judean colonial coinage. The emperor's effigy is presented with bold, high-relief portraiture. The encircling legend runs along the outer border of the coin. |

| Reverse description | The Dioscuri (Castor and Pollux) depicted standing facing front, their heads turned toward one another in mirror symmetry, each wearing a chlamys draped over the shoulders and a star above the head. Each figure holds a spear in the outer hand with the inner hand resting on the hip. A standing eagle is positioned between them with its head turned to the left, serving as a central compositional element. The abbreviated colonial legend appears in the field. |
