| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Hadrian facing right, with drapery visible on the left shoulder, rendered in the provincial Alexandrian style. The emperor's effigy displays characteristic short curled hair beneath the laurel wreath, with finely modelled facial features. The Greek imperial legend surrounds the bust, partially visible along the upper and left periphery of the flan. The flan is notably thick and irregular, consistent with Alexandrian bronze coinage of the period. |
