| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Hadrian facing right, draped and cuirassed, with the emperor's characteristic short beard rendered in fine detail. The portrait effigy displays the classicising Hadrianic style characteristic of the Rome mint during the early years of his reign. The circumferential legend IMP CAESAR TRAIAN HADRIANVS AVG runs clockwise around the bust within a beaded border. The flan is irregular in outline, as is typical of hammered bronze coinage of the period. |

| Reverse description | A standing figure, heavily worn but consistent with RIC II.3 621, depicted in the field with a peripheral Latin legend encircling the design within a beaded border. The reverse type for this emission from the Rome mint features a deity or personification in classical Roman style, rendered in high relief on the hammered bronze flan. Significant surface corrosion and wear obscure precise iconographic details, though the general composition and epigraphy conform to the cited RIC type. The exergue line and any exergual inscription are not legible on this specimen due to wear. |
