| Obverse lettering | HADRIANVS AVG COS III P P (Translation: Hadrianus Augustus, Consul Tertium, Pater Patriae. Hadrian, emperor (Augustus), consul for the third time, father of the nation.) |
| Reverse description | The personification of Liberalitas stands facing left in full figure, robed in a draped chiton and himation, her head adorned with a modius. She extends her right hand forward, holding an abacus (tessera or coin-counting tablet), while her left arm cradles a cornucopia overflowing with fruits, symbolising imperial generosity and abundance. The composition commemorates the seventh recorded act of imperial largesse (congiarium) distributed by Hadrian to the Roman populace. The legend encircles the figure along the beaded border, with the field otherwise unencumbered. |
