| Obverse description | Laureate and cuirassed bust of Emperor Hadrian facing right, rendered in the provincial style typical of Corinthian colonial coinage. The effigy displays the emperor's characteristic beard and laureate wreath, with the cuirass suggesting his role as military commander. The surrounding legend reads IMP CAES TR-A HADR AVG in Latin capitals, distributed around the periphery of the flan. The coin exhibits a broadly struck, slightly irregular flan characteristic of provincial hammered coinage of the second century AD. |
