| Obverse description | Laureate, draped bust of Emperor Hadrian facing right, with drapery visible on the left shoulder. The effigy is rendered in the Roman provincial style characteristic of the Alexandrian mint, with finely detailed hair beneath the laurel wreath. A Greek legend encircles the bust in the field, identifying the emperor by his full imperial titulature. The flan is broad and irregular, typical of Alexandrian diobol-sized issues of this period. |
