| Obverse lettering | L AELIVS CAESAR (Translation: Lucius Aelius Caesar. Lucius Aelius Caesar.) |
| Reverse description | The personification of Pietas stands facing right in long robes, her right hand raised in a gesture of adoration, while her left hand holds a small acerra (incense box). To her right stands a lighted altar upon which an offering is made, symbolizing devotion and filial piety. The composition is carefully balanced within the coin's field, with the reverse legend distributed around the periphery. The figure is rendered in the classicizing style characteristic of Hadrianic imperial coinage, conveying the religious and dynastic messaging of Lucius Aelius's elevation as Caesar. |
