| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of the emperor Hadrian facing right, viewed from the front, rendered in the classical Roman portrait style characteristic of the early Hadrianic period. The legend encircles the effigy along the periphery of the flan. The portrait displays the emperor's distinctive short beard and laureate wreath, with drapery visible over the left shoulder. |

| Reverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Hadrian facing right, viewed from the front, with the imperial paludamentum visible over the shoulder, conveying both military authority and imperial majesty. The surrounding legend runs along the outer edge of the coin field. The reverse portrait type, though unusual for a reverse treatment on an as, reflects the experimental portraiture of the early Hadrianic coinage as catalogued under RIC II.3 619. |
