| Obverse description | Laureate and cuirassed bust of the emperor Hadrian facing right, wearing a paludamentum fastened at the shoulder. The effigy is rendered in the provincial Greek style typical of Achaean civic coinage of the early 2nd century AD. The circular Greek legend surrounds the bust in the field, reading ΑΥΤ ΑΔΡΙΑΝΟϹ ΚΤΙϹΤΗϹ, acclaiming Hadrian as Emperor and Founder. The flan is irregular and the surfaces show the characteristic roughness of provincial bronze coinage. |
