| Obverse description | Bare-headed, laureate bust of Emperor Hadrian facing right, rendered with characteristic short curly hair and full beard in the refined Hadrianic portrait style. The emperor's effigy is depicted with naturalistic detail, the facial features strongly modelled with a prominent brow and aquiline nose. The circular Greek legend surrounds the portrait along the coin's periphery, reading from lower left to right. |

| Reverse description | Frontal view of an octastyle temple set upon a two-stepped podium, depicted in perspective with columns supporting an entablature and pediment; a pellet or star ornament is visible within the pediment. The architectural rendering is typical of provincial civic coinage celebrating the imperial cult or a major regional sanctuary. The legend is divided across the field on either side of the temple. |
