| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Emperor Hadrian facing left, rendered in high relief with characteristic beard and laurel wreath. The circumferential Greek legend reads ΑΥΤ ΚΑΙϹ ΤΡΑΙΑΝ ΑΔΡΙΑΝΟϹ ϹΕΒ, identifying the emperor by his full titulature as Imperator Caesar Trajanus Hadrianus Augustus. The portrait displays the refined Hellenistic artistic tradition of the Alexandrian mint, with finely modeled facial features visible despite patination. The coin is struck on a broad, irregularly shaped flan typical of Alexandrian bronze coinage of the period. |
