| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Emperor Hadrian facing left, with drapery visible on the shoulder, rendered in the typical Alexandrian provincial style. The emperor's portrait displays characteristic features including a short beard and laureate wreath. The encircling legend in Greek identifies the emperor by his imperial titles, running around the periphery of the flan. The flan shows the broad, slightly irregular fabric typical of Alexandrian bronze coinage of the period. |

| Reverse description | Full-length figure of Artemis advancing to the right, depicted in flowing robes with a stag held at her side and a bow in her other hand, a composition well attested in Alexandrian coinage of the Hadrianic period. The goddess is rendered in a dynamic striding pose, characteristic of the Hellenistic artistic tradition maintained in Egyptian provincial bronzes. The regnal date legend appears in the field, indicating year 19 of Hadrian's reign. The reverse field shows areas of patination consistent with the coin's bronze fabric and age. |
