Obverse description	Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Hadrian facing right, rendered from a rear three-quarter perspective, a presentation typical of Alexandrian provincial coinage of this period. The emperor's effigy displays the characteristic Hadrianic beard and laureate wreath, with the paludamentum and cuirass visible at the shoulder. A Greek legend encircles the bust within a dotted border, identifying the emperor by his full imperial titulature.

Reverse description	Asclepius, the god of medicine, stands facing with head turned to the right, rendered in a dignified frontal pose characteristic of Alexandrian divine iconography. The deity holds his attribute, the knotted serpent-staff (asklepios), in his right hand, with an olive branch in his left. The regnal date legend appears in the field, denoting the 19th year of Hadrian's reign, within a plain border.
