| Obverse description | Bare-headed or laureate draped bust of Emperor Hadrian facing right, rendered in the restrained Hadrianic classical style. The emperor's effigy occupies the central field, with the paludamentum visible at the shoulder. The encircling Latin legend reads HADRIANVS AVG COS III P P along the periphery. The flan is of irregular shape with a heavily patinated surface, consistent with a hammered bronze issue of the period. |

| Reverse description | The goddess Tellus (Earth) depicted as a draped female figure, likely seated or standing, personifying the stabilised and fertile earth. She is shown in the Hadrianic allegorical style, conveying the imperial theme of prosperity and agrarian abundance. The reverse legend TELLVS STABIL is distributed across the field, referencing the concept of Tellus Stabilita — the earth firmly established under Hadrian's reign. The coin's heavily worn and corroded surface obscures finer iconographic details, though the central figure remains discernible. |
