| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Emperor Hadrian facing right, with his characteristic short curly beard and hair rendered in fine detail. The emperor is depicted with paludamentum (military cloak) visible at the shoulder, conveying imperial authority. The circumferential Latin legend reads IMP CAESAR TRAIAN HADRIANVS AVG, distributed around the bust. The portrait exhibits the classicizing Hellenistic artistic style favored during Hadrian's reign, with naturalistic facial features and carefully articulated coiffure. The flan is irregular in outline, as is typical of hammered Roman silver coinage of this period. |

| Reverse description | The goddess Concordia seated left on a high-backed throne, draped in long robes, holding a patera in her extended right hand and resting her left arm upon a cornucopia or scepter. The throne is rendered with architectural detail, and the figure exhibits a serene, composed posture emblematic of imperial harmony. The Latin legend P M TR P COS III is distributed in the field to the left and right of the seated figure, while CONCORD appears in the exergue below. The composition follows the standard Hadrianic reverse type for this issue, emphasizing the ideological virtue of concord within the empire. The reverse field shows typical signs of die wear consistent with circulation. |
