| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Hadrian facing right, with a prominent beard rendered in finely modeled curls, a characteristic feature of his portraiture. The emperor is depicted with paludamentum visible at the shoulder, conveying imperial and military authority. The bold, high-relief effigy displays the naturalistic Hellenizing style favored during Hadrian's reign. The encircling Latin legend reads IMP CAESAR TRAIAN HADRIANVS AVG, distributed around the periphery of the flan. The coin exhibits a slightly irregular, hand-struck flan typical of hammered Roman silver coinage of the early second century AD. |

| Reverse description | Standing figure of Roma facing left, helmeted and clad in military attire, holding a Victory or patera in the outstretched right hand and a long spear or scepter in the left hand, with a grounded shield at her side. The figure is rendered in the classical Roman style with fine drapery detail and confident, frontal stance, occupying the full height of the field. The reverse type celebrates the embodiment of the Roman state and military virtue. The encircling Latin legend P M TR P COS III is distributed around the periphery, referencing Hadrian's priestly, tribunician, and consular titles. The plain field and inner beaded border frame the composition in the standard manner of Trajanic-Hadrianic silver coinage. |
