| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of the Emperor Hadrian facing right, rendered with paludamentum visible at the truncation, the portrait depicted from a rear-facing three-quarter perspective emphasizing the imperial mantle. The effigy displays Hadrian's characteristic short beard and laureate wreath tied with ribbons. A circular Latin legend surrounds the bust along the coin's periphery, partially legible due to the irregular flan and surface wear. |

| Reverse description | A standing female deity, identified as Athena or Roma, depicted facing left and rendered in full figure. She holds a patera in her extended right hand and a long spear in her left; at her feet to the left crouches an owl, the emblematic bird of Athena, while a serpent coils to the right, both attributes reinforcing the Athena identification. The colonial legend is arranged in two segments flanking the central field, with the honorific abbreviation D D (Decreto Decurionum) inscribed in the open field, indicating civic authorization by the town council of the colonia. |
