| Obverse description | Laureate head of Emperor Antoninus Pius facing right, rendered in the provincial style characteristic of Thracian civic coinage. The portrait displays the emperor's characteristic full beard and laurel wreath. A Greek imperial titulature legend surrounds the effigy, running along the coin's periphery. The surfaces show a heavy green patina consistent with prolonged burial, partially obscuring the finer die details. The flan is slightly irregular in shape, as is typical of hammered provincial bronzes of this period. |
