| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Emperor Hadrian facing right, with aegis on the left shoulder. The effigy displays the characteristic portrait style of Alexandrian provincial coinage, with the laurel wreath rendered in fine detail. The surrounding Greek legend reads ΑΥΤ ΚΑΙ ΤΡΑΙ - ΑΔΡΙΑ ϹΕΒ, distributed around the bust in the field. The coin exhibits the broad, slightly irregular flan typical of hammered Alexandrian tetradrachm-style silver coinage of the early second century AD. |
