| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare-shouldered, draped and laureate bust of Hadrian facing right, rendered with the emperor's characteristic short beard and curled hair beneath the laurel wreath. The portrait is executed in the robust, high-relief style typical of Hadrianic imperial coinage, with careful attention to facial detail. The circumferential legend runs clockwise around the bust in well-spaced Latin capital letters. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Standing figure of Hadrian to the right, his right hand raised in adlocutio gesture and his left hand holding a volumen (scroll), facing the personification of Africa who stands to the left wearing a distinctive elephant-scalp headdress — the canonical attribute of the province. Africa holds a patera in her right hand and corn ears in her left, symbolizing the province's agricultural abundance. Between the two figures stands a small altar, with a bull typically depicted at its base, referencing the sacrificial rites of the adventus ceremony. The scene commemorates Hadrian's celebrated visit to the province of Africa, most likely in AD 128. |
