| Obverse description | Draped bust of Sabina facing left, her hair elaborately dressed and piled high, secured by a single stephane (diadem). The portrait is rendered in the refined court style characteristic of Hadrianic imperial coinage, with finely delineated facial features and carefully articulated drapery folds at the shoulder. The encircling Latin legend runs along the rim within a beaded border. The flan is notably irregular in outline, typical of hand-struck silver coinage of the period. |

| Reverse description | The personification of Concordia stands facing left in a composed, dignified posture, resting her left arm upon a column set in the field. In her right hand she holds a patera extended outward, and in her left she carries a double cornucopia, symbolising abundance and harmonious prosperity. The figure is rendered in the classical Roman allegorical tradition, with flowing drapery and a serene expression. The Latin legend encircles the design within a beaded border, identifying the reverse type. |
