| Obverse lettering | HADRIANVS AVGVSTVS (Translation: Hadrianus Augustus. Hadrian, emperor (Augustus).) |
| Reverse description | A Roman war galley (navis longa) sailing left at speed, its oars extended and cutting through stylized waves rendered in the exergue. The vessel features a prominent prow with a figurehead — identifiable as Minerva Promachus, a Triton, or Pegasus — and a crew of rowers is visible amidships. The reverse legend arcs around the upper field and along the lower field, with S C flanking the exergual line in reference to the Senatorial authority under which the bronze coinage was issued. |
