| Obverse description | Laureate head of Emperor Hadrian facing right, with drapery visible on the left shoulder. The portrait is rendered in the typical Alexandrian provincial style, with the laurel wreath denoting imperial status. The flan is small and irregular, consistent with the minor bronze nominals of Roman Egypt. The obverse field is largely plain, with no surrounding legend. |

| Reverse description | A goat standing to the right in the central field, rendered in a simple but recognizable style typical of Alexandrian nome coinage. Above and around the animal appear the Greek inscription ΒΟΥϹΙ and the regnal year notation L ΙΑ (year 11), identifying this issue as belonging to the Busirite nome. The flan is irregular and the strike somewhat off-center, as is characteristic of these small provincial bronzes. |
