| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Hadrian facing right, seen from the rear, presenting a three-quarter back view characteristic of Alexandrian provincial coinage. The imperial effigy displays the laureate wreath encircling the head, with folds of the paludamentum visible over the cuirass. The surrounding Greek legend is disposed in two segments across the obverse field. The style is consistent with the Alexandrian mint workshop of the early second century AD. |

| Reverse description | Ares, god of war, depicted standing facing with head turned to the left, rendered in a classical contrapposto stance. The deity holds an upright spear in one hand and a parazonium — the short military dagger emblematic of divine and imperial martial authority — in the other. The figure is shown with athletic musculature consistent with Alexandrian representations of the god. The regnal date legend L ΔΕΚΑΤΟΥ appears in the field to the left of the standing figure. |
