| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Emperor Hadrian facing right, with possible drapery over the left shoulder, rendered in the provincial Alexandrian style. The effigy displays the characteristic features of Hadrian's early reign portraiture, with a laurel wreath crowning the head. The Greek legend encircles the bust in the field, identifying the emperor by his full imperial titulature. The flan is irregular, and the coin shows the characteristic broad, flat fabric of early Alexandrian bronze coinage. Significant patination and surface wear are present, consistent with circulation use. |
