| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Emperor Hadrian facing right, with drapery visible on the left shoulder, set within a circular border. The portrait displays the characteristic short beard and curled hair of Hadrian's imperial effigy as rendered by the Alexandrian mint. The bust is rendered in the provincial style typical of Egyptian nome coinage of the early 2nd century AD. |
