| Obverse description | Laureate bust of the Emperor Hadrian facing right, the precise bust type uncertain due to heavy wear. A partial legend is visible along the upper periphery of the flan, though largely illegible owing to the coin's condition and irregular edges. The portrait is rendered in the typical Alexandrian provincial style of the early second century AD. |

| Reverse description | Two right hands clasped in a dextrarum iunctio, with ears of corn and poppies flanking or intertwined with the joined hands, symbolizing concordia and agricultural abundance. The regnal date legend L Η (Year 8) appears in the field, identifying the issue to the eighth regnal year of Hadrian. The design occupies the full flan, consistent with the compact format of Alexandrian bronze coinage of this period. |
