| Obverse description | Laureate head of the emperor Hadrian facing right, with drapery visible on the left shoulder. The effigy is rendered in the characteristic Alexandrian provincial style, with a broad flan and slightly irregular striking. The Greek imperial legend is distributed around the bust in the field, partially visible along the upper and right periphery of the coin. |
