| Obverse description | Bare-headed, draped bust of Emperor Hadrian facing right, with characteristic short curly hair and clipped beard rendered in fine relief. The portrait displays the mature, idealised style typical of Hadrianic court coinage, with strong facial modelling. The encircling Latin legend runs along the border of the coin from left to right. |

| Reverse description | Hadrian standing left in military attire, holding a scroll in his left hand and extending his right hand to raise the kneeling personification of Gallia, who turns towards the emperor in a gesture of submission and gratitude. The allegorical composition belongs to the celebrated 'Restitutor' series, commemorating Hadrian's benefactions to the provinces. The legend encircles the scene, with the senatorial mark S C (Senatus Consultum) placed in the exergue. |
