| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Hadrian facing right, with bare chest and traces of drapery visible on the far shoulder. The emperor's portrait is rendered in the characteristic Hadrianic style, featuring a short beard and finely detailed hair beneath the laurel wreath. The encircling Latin legend runs along the outer rim of the flan. The die work reflects the high artistic standard of the Roman Imperial mint during the early Hadrianic period. |

| Reverse description | Fortuna seated left on a throne, draped, holding a rudder in her right hand and a cornucopia in her left. The figure is rendered with careful attention to drapery folds and seated posture, conveying the goddess's serene and beneficent aspect. The legend surrounds the field with the titles of Hadrian above and the abbreviated epithet FORT RED in the exergue or lower field, commemorating the emperor's safe return. The reverse type belongs to a well-attested Hadrianic commemorative issue celebrating Fortuna Redux. |
