| Obverse lettering | HADRIANVS AVG COS III P P (Translation: Hadrianus Augustus, Consul Tertium, Pater Patriae. Hadrian, emperor (Augustus), consul for the third time, father of the nation.) |
| Reverse description | The emperor Hadrian is depicted on horseback advancing to the right, his right hand raised in a gesture of adlocutio or salute toward the troops before him. Two soldiers stand facing left in the field ahead of the horse, each bearing a military standard. The composition reflects the adventus and exercitus series struck to commemorate Hadrian's famous tours of the provincial armies. The legend is divided, with EXER SYRIACVS appearing in the field and S C (Senatus Consultum) flanking the central design, authorizing the bronze issue. |
