| Obverse description | Head of a she-bear depicted in left profile, rendered in low relief within a roughly circular field. The civic legend ΑΔΡΙΑΝΟΘΗΡΙΤΩΝ curves around the periphery, identifying the issuing city of Hadrianotherae, whose very name and emblem reference the bear (Greek: θήρ). The flan is irregular and the strike somewhat weak, consistent with provincial bronze coinage of the Hadrianic period. |

| Reverse description | Telesphorus, the divine personification of convalescence and companion deity of Asclepius, depicted standing facing, enveloped in his characteristic hooded cloak that covers the entire figure from head to foot. The magistrate legend ΕΠΙ ϹΤΡ Μ ΝΕΡ ΛΟΝΓΙΝΟΥ is distributed around the field, naming the strategos Marcus Neratius Longinus under whose authority this provincial bronze was struck. The relief is worn but the distinctive conical silhouette of Telesphorus remains clearly recognizable. |
