| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Hadrian facing right, with drapery visible on the left shoulder, rendered in the provincial Alexandrian style. The imperial effigy displays characteristic portrait features of the emperor with a short beard, consistent with his early reign coinage. A Greek legend encircles the bust within a beaded border, partially legible on this worn example. The flan is irregular and shows the typical broad, flat fabric of Alexandrian bronze issues. |
