| Obverse description | Bare-headed and bearded bust of Hadrian facing right, draped over the left shoulder, with finely rendered curly hair characteristic of his mature portraiture. The emperor's likeness is depicted in the idealized Hellenistic tradition, with strong facial features and a full beard, reflecting Hadrian's well-known philhellenic aesthetic. A beaded border frames the coin's edge. The encircling legend reads HADRIANVS AVGVSTVS in Latin capitals, distributed around the bust. |

| Obverse lettering | HADRIANVS AVGVSTVS (Translation: Hadrianus Augustus. Hadrian, emperor (Augustus).) |
| Reverse description | Standing figure of Clementia, the personification of imperial mercy and clemency, depicted in flowing robes. The reverse legend CLEMENTIA AVG COS III P P encircles the central type, identifying both the allegorical figure and Hadrian's titles as consul for the third time and Father of the Fatherland. The composition reflects the Hadrianic programme of projecting benevolent imperial virtues through coinage, consistent with other personification reverses of this reign. A beaded border frames the design. |
