| Obverse lettering | IMP CAESAR TRAIAN HADRIANVS AVG (Translation: Imperator Caesar Traianus Hadrianus Augustus. Supreme commander (Imperator), Caesar, Trajan Hadrian, emperor (Augustus).) |
| Reverse description | Standing figure of Spes (Hope), personified as a draped female deity facing left in the centre of the field, advancing with a graceful contrapposto stance. She raises the hem of her garment with her left hand — the standard iconographic attribute of Spes in Roman coinage — while her right hand holds a flower presented forward. The senatorial authority mark S C (Senatus Consultum) is placed prominently in the field to either side of the figure, flanking her at mid-body level. The peripheral legend arcs around the coin's upper register, completing the reverse titulature. |
