| Obverse description | Laureate head of Hadrian facing right, with possible traces of drapery visible on the left shoulder. The portrait is rendered in the characteristic provincial style of Alexandrian coinage, with a simplified but identifiable imperial effigy. The flan is small and irregularly struck, consistent with low-denomination Egyptian bronze issues of the period. |

| Reverse description | A sistrum depicted in the centre of the field, the sacred rattle associated with the cult of Isis, rendered schematically with a looped handle and horizontal crossbars. Below the sistrum, the regnal date legend L ΔΕ is inscribed in Greek characters, denoting the tenth year of Hadrian's reign. The design occupies the full flan within a plain border, typical of small Alexandrian bronze issues. |
