| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Emperor Antoninus Pius facing right, rendered in high relief in the Roman Imperial style. The portrait features the emperor's characteristic full beard and laurel wreath, with drapery visible at the truncation. A circular Latin legend surrounds the effigy, running along the inner border of a beaded rim. The overall style is consistent with Roman denarius coinage of the Antonine dynasty. |

| Reverse description | The personification of Britannia seated left upon rocks, rendered in the classical Roman allegorical tradition. She is depicted semi-draped, resting her right arm upon a large round shield propped against her side, with a standard or spear held in her left hand. A beaded border surrounds the field, and the Latin legend BRITANNIA appears in the surrounding inscription. The composition closely follows the reverse type of Roman provincial denarii struck under Antoninus Pius commemorating the subjugation of Britain. |
