| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Emperor Hadrian facing right, portrayed with characteristic short beard and curled hair beneath the laurel wreath, the shoulder and chest draped in imperial paludamentum, seen from the rear in the distinctive Cappadocian provincial style. The effigy is rendered in competent Greek provincial die-cutting, with the emperor's features rendered in three-quarter profile. The circular legend surrounds the bust in Greek characters within the coin's field. |

| Reverse description | Tyche, the city goddess, enthroned to the left upon an ornate throne or base, wearing a turreted crown upon her head. She extends her right hand forward holding a long rudder, symbolising fortune and guidance, while her left arm cradles a cornucopia overflowing with fruits and grain, emblematic of abundance. The figure is rendered in typical Hellenistic provincial style, with robes falling naturally across the throne. The Greek legend is distributed around the field, with additional characters visible in the lower exergual area. |
