| Obverse description | Radiate bust of Hadrian facing right, with bare chest and traces of drapery visible on the far shoulder, rendered in the early imperial portrait style characteristic of his accession year. The effigy presents the emperor in a slightly idealized manner, with the radiate crown denoting his dupondius denomination. The encircling legend in Latin occupies the obverse field around the portrait. |

| Reverse description | Two standing figures face one another: the deified Trajan at right and Hadrian at left, both jointly supporting a globe between them, symbolising the transfer of imperial authority and the continuity of Roman power. The composition commemorates Hadrian's accession as successor to Trajan and his adoption of Trajan's honorific titles. The legend is distributed around the reverse field, with SC (Senatus Consultum) prominently placed, affirming senatorial authorisation of the bronze coinage. |
