| Obverse description | Laureate head of the emperor Hadrian facing right, with drapery visible on the left shoulder, rendered in the typical provincial style of the Alexandrian mint. The legend surrounds the effigy, reading ΑΥΤ ΚΑΙ ΤΡΑΙ ΑΔΡΙΑ ϹΕΒ, identifying Hadrian by his imperial titulature. The portrait displays the characteristic short beard and laurel wreath associated with Hadrianic coinage. The flan is irregular, as is standard for hammered provincial tetradrachms of this period. |
