| Obverse lettering | HADRIANVS AVGVSTVS (Translation: Hadrianus Augustus. Hadrian, emperor (Augustus).) |
| Reverse description | A Roman galley (navis) depicted in left profile, rendered in detailed relief showing multiple rowers seated along the hull with oars extended, the vessel's ram (rostrum) projecting at the prow and a curved sternpost (aplustre) at the stern. A mast with rigging is visible at the bow end, and a figurehead — identifiable as Minerva Promachus or a similar martial deity — adorns the prow. The scene likely commemorates Hadrian's extensive sea voyages and imperial travels throughout the empire. The reverse legend is distributed around the upper and lower periphery of the field, with COS III PP in the exergue and SC flanking the design, all within a beaded border. |
