| Obverse description | Bare-headed, cuirassed bust of Emperor Hadrian facing right, rendered in high relief with characteristic short curly hair. The legend runs around the periphery in Greek majuscules, divided on either side of the effigy. A dotted border frames the design. The portrait follows the canonical Hadrianic type adopted by Greek provincial mints, emphasizing the emperor's strong features and military attire. |
