| Obverse description | Laureate, draped bust of Emperor Hadrian facing right, with paludamentum visible at the truncation. The effigy is rendered in the typical provincial style of the Hadrianic period, with a finely detailed laurel wreath crowning the head. The Greek legend ΑΥΤ ΑΔΡΙΑΝΟϹ ΚΤΙϹΤΗϹ (Emperor Hadrian the Founder) is disposed around the bust in the field. The flan is irregularly shaped, as is characteristic of provincial bronze coinage of this era. |
