| Obverse description | Laureate head of Emperor Hadrian facing right, with drapery visible on the left shoulder. The imperial effigy is rendered in the characteristic Roman provincial style, with the laureate wreath rendered in low relief. The obverse legend reads ΑΥΤΟ ΚΑΙϹΑΡ ΤΡΑΙ ΑΔΡΙΑΝΟϹ ϹΕΒ (Emperor Caesar Trajan Hadrian Augustus), partially preserved around the portrait. The flan is irregular and chipped, consistent with the hammered provincial coinage of the period. |
