| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Emperor Hadrian facing right, with drapery visible on the left shoulder. The effigy is rendered in the characteristic Hadrianic style with short curled hair beneath the laurel wreath. The Greek legend encircles the bust in the field, partially visible along the periphery of the flan. The portrait is executed in moderate relief typical of provincial Carian civic coinage of the early second century AD. |

| Reverse description | An ornamented trident occupies the central field, depicted upright with a long shaft and three prongs at the head, flanked by decorative lateral projections or cross-bars giving it a highly stylised, symmetrical appearance. The reverse is framed by a dotted border running around the inner edge of the flan. The civic ethnic legend ΜΥΛΑϹΕΩΝ is distributed around the trident in the field. The trident is a traditional symbol of maritime and civic identity for Mylasa in Caria. |
