| Obverse description | Draped bust of Sabina facing right, the empress wearing a diadem and stephane, her hair arranged in a queue extending down the nape of the neck. The portrait is rendered in the refined Hadrianic court style, with carefully delineated drapery folds at the shoulder. The encircling legend names Sabina in her full imperial titulature, positioned within the field surrounding the effigy. |

| Reverse description | Pietas personified standing left in full figure, rendered in classical drapery, flanked on either side by small miniature figures representing the imperial couple, alluding to the mutual piety and devotion between Sabina and Hadrian. The composition emphasises the dynastic and religious significance of the Pietas cult under Hadrian. The reverse legend, divided by the central figure, includes the senatorial authority mark S C in the field, affirming the bronze coinage's sanction by the Senate. |
