| Obverse description | Bare-headed, laureate and draped bust of Hadrian facing right, rendered with characteristic beard and individualized portraiture typical of Hadrianic coinage. The emperor's curling hair is bound by a laurel wreath, and the drapery is visible at the truncation of the left shoulder. The encircling legend runs clockwise around the periphery of the flan in crisp Latin capitals. The portrait displays the refined Hellenistic artistic influence that distinguishes Hadrianic numismatic portraiture from earlier Trajanic types. |

| Reverse description | Victory personified, seated left on a throne or stool, holding a wreath in her extended right hand and a long palm branch in her left hand, with wings partially raised, the far wing curving upward to frame the head. The figure is rendered in classical style with drapery falling across the lap. The abbreviated titulature legend occupies the field around the figure, reading in two lines or around the periphery. The composition follows the standard Hadrianic Victory type associated with his early consular years. |
