Beschrijving voorzijde Bare-headed, laureate bust of Emperor Hadrian facing right, with characteristic short curled beard and draped paludamentum at the shoulder, rendered in the refined Hadrianic portraiture style. The effigy displays fine engraving of the emperor's curled hair and wreath of laurel leaves. The encircling Latin legend reads HADRIANVS AVG COS III P P, distributed around the periphery of the flan. The portrait reflects the classicising Hellenistic influence prominent in Hadrianic imperial coinage.

Opschrift voorzijde 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.)
Beschrijving keerzijde The emperor Hadrian stands facing left in military dress, extending his right hand to raise a kneeling female personification of Achaea, who reaches upward in a gesture of supplication and gratitude. Hadrian holds a scroll in his left hand, symbolising his acts of benefaction and administration. Between the two figures stands a vase containing a palm branch, an attribute evoking the province's celebrated Panhellenic heritage and the Nemean or Isthmian games. The scene powerfully encapsulates Hadrian's philhellenic policy of restoring and honouring the Greek provinces. The reverse legend RESTITVTORI ACHAIAE is distributed in the field.
