| Obverse description | Bare or lightly draped bust of Antoninus Pius facing right, rendered in the provincial style characteristic of Carian civic coinage. The portrait displays the emperor's characteristic beard and mature facial features. A circular Greek legend runs along the coin's periphery, identifying the issuing community. The flan is irregular and slightly compact, typical of small-denomination provincial bronze issues of the mid-second century AD. |

| Reverse description | A bull or boar advancing to the left, depicted in a stocky, compact style typical of provincial Carian bronzes. The animal is rendered in moderate relief against a plain field. A dotted border frames the design along the coin's periphery. The surrounding Greek legend references the local magistrate Publius Aelius Adrastos, whose name appears as part of the civic administrative inscription. The overall design reflects the standard iconographic repertoire of small civic bronzes from the Conventus of Alabanda under the Antonine dynasty. |
