| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of the Emperor Hadrian facing right, rendered in three-quarter view from the rear, with detailed rendering of the paludamentum and muscled cuirass. The imperial legend in Greek characters surrounds the effigy within a beaded border. The portrait displays the characteristic short beard and curled hair associated with Hadrian's mature coinage at Alexandria. |

| Reverse description | Radiate and draped bust of Helios facing right, with the solar rays prominently emanating from the crown of the head, and the drapery falling gracefully from the left shoulder. The regnal date legend L ΕΝΔΕΚΑΤΟΥ (Year 11) is disposed in the field to either side of the bust within a beaded border. The rendering of Helios follows the Alexandrian tradition of depicting the solar deity as a youthful, idealised figure. |
