| Obverse description | Laureate and cuirassed bust of Emperor Hadrian facing left, rendered in the provincial style typical of Asia Minor colonial mints. The laureate wreath is visible atop the head, with the cuirass indicated at the shoulder. A circumferential Latin legend surrounds the imperial effigy within the coin's field. |

| Reverse description | A bull or ox depicted in profile standing to the right, rendered in a simplified provincial style consistent with colonial foundation imagery. The animal occupies the central field, with the Latin colonial legend distributed around the periphery. This type alludes to the Roman colonial foundation ritual of the founder ploughing the sacred boundary, a motif closely associated with the Colonia Gemella Iulia Pariana. |
