| Obverse description | Laureate and cuirassed bust of Emperor Hadrian facing right, depicted in three-quarter frontal view, with the paludamentum visible at the shoulder. The effigy displays the characteristic short beard associated with Hadrian's portraiture. A partially legible Latin legend runs along the periphery of the flan, much of which is lost due to die wear and the irregular flan edges. |

| Reverse description | The reverse field bears the two-line Latin inscription ISTH/MIA, referencing the Isthmian Games held near Corinth, enclosed within a laurel wreath. The wreath is formed of carefully rendered leaves tied at the base, framing the legend centrally in the field. The type alludes to Corinth's role as host of the prestigious Panhellenic Isthmian Games, a common civic pride motif on colonial bronzes of this period. |
