| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Hadrian facing right, draped and cuirassed, viewed from the rear, with paludamentum visible over the left shoulder. The emperor's characteristic beard and mature facial features are rendered in high relief. The encircling Latin legend runs along the periphery of the flan. The portrait displays the characteristic Hadrianic style with carefully detailed hair and beard, reflecting the Hellenistic influence prevalent in imperial portraiture of this period. |

| Reverse description | The personification of Hispania reclines to the left across the field, her upper body raised and supported on rocks. She extends her right hand forward holding an olive branch, symbol of the province's celebrated agricultural wealth. At her feet, a rabbit — the iconic symbol of the Iberian Peninsula — is depicted to the right of the rocky ground line. The senatorial authority marks S C (Senatus Consulto) appear in the field, flanking the central figure, with the provincial legend HISPANIA above. |
