| Obverse description | Laureate, draped bust of Emperor Hadrian facing right, with drapery visible on the left shoulder. The emperor is depicted with a short beard, consistent with his characteristic portraiture, and a laurel wreath crowning his head. A beaded border runs along the inner edge of the flan. The Greek imperial legend is distributed around the bust in the field. |

| Reverse description | Euthenia, the personification of abundance and prosperity, depicted reclining to the left upon the back of a recumbent sphinx. She is shown draped, leaning on her left arm, and holds ears of corn in her extended right hand. The composition is rendered in a Hellenistic-Egyptian artistic tradition typical of Alexandrian civic coinage. The regnal year legend L Γ (Year 3) appears in the exergue below the ground line, within a beaded border. |
