| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate bust of Emperor Hadrian facing right, depicted with characteristic short beard and draped shoulder, rendered in the Alexandrian provincial style. The imperial effigy occupies the central field, surrounded by a Greek legend arranged around the periphery of the flan. The surface exhibits heavy patination and encrustation consistent with age, obscuring fine detail of the portrait but preserving the general outline of the laureate head. The inscription identifies the emperor with his full titulature in Greek characters. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The river god Nilus reclines or is seated upon a rocky outcrop to the left, holding a reed in one hand and a cornucopia in the other, symbolizing the fertility and abundance brought by the annual Nile inundation. A crocodile, the emblematic animal of the Nile, is depicted below the principal figure. The composition is a well-known type of Alexandrian coinage celebrating the importance of the Nile to Egyptian prosperity. The regnal year legend is positioned in the field, dating the issue to the 19th year of Hadrian's reign. |
