| Obverse description | Laureate, cuirassed bust of Emperor Hadrian facing right, with paludamentum draped over the left shoulder, presented in three-quarter frontal view. The emperor's bare head is rendered in the classicising portrait style characteristic of Hadrianic provincial coinage. The encircling legend runs along the outer periphery of the flan. |

| Reverse description | Standing figure of Athena Chalinitis facing, with head turned to the left, holding a bridle in her extended right hand — a reference to the local mythological tradition associating the goddess with the taming of Pegasus at Corinth. In her left hand she bears a spear and shield. The colonial legend is distributed in the field around the deity. |
