The sculpture depicted on the coin shows a profile portrait of a bearded man facing to the left. The man appears to be a high-ranking figure, as suggested by the detailed depiction of his clothes, which include a high-collared shirt with buttons and a decorative sash tied around the neck. The coin is made of bronze, giving it a coppery-brown color. The surface of the coin includes inscriptions along the edge, likely bearing the title and name of the figure, with text in Latin that includes "ANTONIVS" and "REX." The man's facial features are detailed, from his curly hair and prominent nose to his neatly trimmed beard. The relief of the coin gives a three-dimensional effect, making the figure stand out against the background.
