| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of the 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 a boldly modelled laurel wreath encircling the head. A beaded border frames the obverse field. The Greek imperial legend surrounds the bust, identifying the emperor by his titulature. |
