| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Hadrian facing right, rendered in the typical provincial style of the Conventus of Adramyteum. The emperor's portrait displays characteristic layered laurel wreath and short beard. The Greek imperial legend is arranged around the bust in the field, partially visible on the irregular flan. The die work reflects the modest but competent craftsmanship of a local Mysian civic mint. |

| Reverse description | River god reclining to left, his semi-nude figure leaning on his left arm which rests upon an overturned vase or urn from which water flows. In his right hand he holds a reed, while his left arm supports a cornucopia. The composition is a standard personification of a local river deity, typical of civic bronze coinage from the Mysian region during the Hadrianic period. |
