| Obverse description | Laureate and cuirassed bust of Emperor Hadrian facing right, draped with paludamentum over the left shoulder. The legend ΑΥΤ ΑΔΡΙΑΝΟϹ ΚΤΙϹΤΗϹ (Emperor Hadrian the Founder) surrounds the imperial effigy, reflecting Hadrian's honorific epithet as founder and benefactor of the city of Argos. The flan is irregular in shape, consistent with provincial hammered coinage of the period. |
