| Obverse description | Bare laureate head of the emperor Hadrian facing right, with drapery visible on the left shoulder. The portrait is rendered in the characteristic Roman imperial style, with the laurel wreath denoting imperial dignity. The flan is notably irregular and shows characteristic features of Alexandrian provincial bronze coinage. The surface bears a dark patina consistent with extended circulation. |

| Reverse description | Standing figure of the syncretic deity Hathor-Mehit, identified with Elpis (Hope), depicted in full length facing left. The goddess holds a flower in her upraised right hand while the left hand is lowered in the characteristic Elpis gesture. The nome inscription ΘΙΝΙ and regnal year formula L ΙΑ appear in the field, identifying this issue as belonging to the Thinite nome and year 11 of Hadrian's reign. The composition is typical of Alexandrian nome coinage struck for local circulation. |
