| Obverse description | Bare laureate head of the emperor Hadrian facing right, with drapery visible on the left shoulder. The portrait is rendered in the typical provincial Roman style of the Alexandrian mint, with the laurel wreath clearly indicated across the brow. The flan is small and irregularly shaped, limiting the field, and no legend is present on this face. The surfaces display a dark patina consistent with prolonged burial, partially obscuring fine detail. |

| Reverse description | A ram standing left, depicted in profile within an open field, with what appears to be a sun disk surmounting its back, though this detail is uncertain due to the coin's condition. The type is associated with the nome coinage of Roman Egypt, specifically identifying the Diopolite Inferior nome through its distinctive animal symbol. Around the figure, the Greek legend ΔΙΟΠ Κ appears, with the regnal year formula L ΙΑ (year 11) also present. The reverse field is compact, reflecting the small module of this nome issue, and the overall style is characteristic of the provincial Alexandrian workshop under Hadrian. |
