| Obverse description | Bare-headed, cuirassed bust of Emperor Hadrian facing right, with paludamentum draped over the left shoulder, the portrait rendered in a frontal three-quarter perspective typical of provincial Roman coinage. The effigy displays the characteristic close-cropped beard and strong facial features associated with Hadrian's portraiture. A partially legible Latin legend encircles the bust in the outer field. |

| Reverse description | The Emperor, depicted in military attire, rides on horseback to the right, the horse shown in a dynamic prancing pose. A winged Victory figure stands to the right, reaching upward to crown the mounted Emperor with a wreath, a composition emblematic of imperial triumph and divine favour. The colonial abbreviation legend is distributed around the field, and the overall type follows established provincial iconographic conventions celebrating Hadrian's authority over the Corinthian colony. |
