| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare-headed, draped bust of Hadrian facing left, viewed from the rear, rendered with exceptional naturalistic portraiture characteristic of the Hadrianic period. The emperor's facial features are rendered with fine detail, including a short beard and individualized physiognomy. A beaded border encircles the coin's outer edge. The imperial legend is distributed around the bust in incuse Latin capitals within the field. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Hadrian stands to the right in military dress, his right hand raised in adlocutio gesture and his left hand holding a scroll, facing the personification of Africa who stands to the left. Africa is depicted wearing an elephant-scalp headdress, her attributes including a patera held in one hand and corn ears in the other, alluding to the province's agricultural wealth. Between the two figures stands an altar, at the base of which reclines a bull, likely referencing sacrificial ceremony. The composition commemorates Hadrian's imperial visit (adventus) to the province of Africa, circa AD 128–132. A beaded border frames the entire reverse design. |
