| Obverse description | Laureate head of Emperor Hadrian facing right, with possible traces of drapery visible on the left shoulder. The portrait is rendered in the typical Alexandrian provincial style, with somewhat rough workmanship characteristic of small bronze issues. The flan is irregular and the surfaces show heavy patination consistent with prolonged circulation. |

| Reverse description | A single jug (oinochoe) depicted in the field, serving as the principal reverse type. Flanking the jug are the regnal date formula letters L (lunate lambda, denoting 'year') to the left and ΔΕ to the right, together reading 'year ten' (LΙ = year 10 of Hadrian's reign, corresponding to 125–126 CE). The design is simple and boldly struck, consistent with Alexandrian obol-series coinage of the Hadrianic period. |
