| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Hadrian facing right, depicted with his characteristic curly hair and short beard rendered in fine detail. The imperial effigy displays paludamentum at the shoulder, a hallmark of Hadrianic bronze coinage. The surrounding legend runs clockwise from the lower left, framed by a beaded border. The portrait reflects the refined Hellenistic artistic sensibility prevalent in Hadrianic die engraving, with strong modelling of the facial features. |

| Reverse description | Hadrian standing right, his right hand raised in adlocutio gesture and his left holding a scroll, facing the personification of Judaea standing left. Judaea holds a patera in her right hand and an incense box in her left, with two or three small children depicted at her feet as symbols of the province's people. Between the two figures stands an altar, typically shown with a bull at its base, referencing the sacrificial ceremony accompanying the imperial adventus. The senatorial authority mark S C appears in the field, flanking the central group, while the legend ADVENTVI AVG IVDAEAE runs along the periphery. |
