| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of the Emperor Hadrian facing right, rendered in three-quarter view from the rear, with the paludamentum visible over the left shoulder. The portrait displays the characteristic short beard and classicising facial features associated with Hadrianic coinage from the Alexandrian mint. A Greek legend encircles the effigy, divided across the field, identifying the emperor by his imperial titulature. The flan is irregularly shaped, as typical of hand-struck provincial tetradrachms of this period. |
