| Obverse description | Laureate head of Emperor Hadrian facing right, with drapery visible on the left shoulder. The portrait is rendered in the characteristic Alexandrian provincial style, with fine facial detail typical of Hadrianic coinage from Egypt. The legend encircles the bust in Greek characters, reading partially around the periphery of the flan. The flan is slightly irregular in shape, as is common for struck provincial bronzes of this period. |
