| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Emperor Hadrian facing right, with aegis or drapery visible on the left shoulder. The portrait is rendered in the provincial Greek style, displaying the characteristic early Hadrianic physiognomy with a neatly modelled face. The encircling legend in Greek characters reads ΑΥ ΚΑΙ ΤΡΑ ΑΔΡΙΑΝΟϹ, abbreviated from the imperial titulature Αὐτοκράτωρ Καῖσαρ Τραϊανὸς Ἁδριανός, distributed around the periphery of the flan. |

In his extended right hand he holds a pomegranate, the civic emblem of Side, while his left hand rests upon a tall sceptre. The figure is rendered in the local Pamphylian provincial style, and the ethnic legend ϹΙΔΗΤωΝ — meaning 'of the Sidetans' — appears in the field, identifying the issuing city. |
