| Obverse description | Laureate and cuirassed bust of Emperor Hadrian facing right, draped with paludamentum over the left shoulder. The portrait displays the characteristic short beard associated with Hadrian's iconography. The Greek legend ΑΥΤ ΑΔΡΙΑΝΟϹ ΚΤΙϹΤΗϹ (Emperor Hadrian the Founder) encircles the bust, partially visible despite surface wear. The engraving reflects the provincial Greek artistic tradition of the Antonine period, with bold, slightly rough die-cutting typical of Argive municipal coinage. |
