| Obverse description | Bare or laureate bust of Emperor Hadrian facing right, portrayed with characteristic short curly hair and beard in the Hadrianic style. The effigy is rendered in a somewhat crude provincial style typical of the Antiochene mint, with no visible surrounding legend. The portrait occupies the central field of the flan, with the bust truncated at the shoulder. |

| Reverse description | The letters S C (Senatus Consulto) displayed prominently within a laurel wreath, with the Greek numeral Є (epsilon, denoting the denomination value) positioned below. The wreath is rendered with individual leaves clearly articulated, tied at the base with a bow. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border. The composition follows the standard civic bronze coinage format of the Antiochene mint under Hadrian. |
