| Obverse description | Laureate, cuirassed bust of Emperor Hadrian facing right, with pteruges visible at the shoulder, rendered in the front-facing perspective characteristic of early Hadrianic coinage. The portrait displays the emperor's distinctive short beard, a hallmark of his reign. The encircling legend runs along the periphery of the flan in crisp Latin capitals. The die work reflects the refined craftsmanship of the Rome mint during the height of Hadrian's principate. |

| Reverse description | Minerva Promachus stands in a dynamic fighting pose, advancing to the right, clad in a plumed Corinthian helmet, aegis, and long chiton. She raises a spear aloft in her right hand as if poised to strike, while her left arm bears a large round shield held at her side. The figure is rendered with fine detail in the drapery and armor, filling the reverse field with a commanding martial presence. The abbreviated titulature legend is disposed around the periphery, reading from left to right. |
