| Obverse description | Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust of Hadrian facing right, rendered in three-quarter view from the front, with finely detailed hair and beard characteristic of Hadrianic portraiture. The emperor wears a laurel wreath and military paludamentum over cuirass, with visible pteryges on the shoulder. The effigy displays the high artistic quality associated with provincial coinage struck under Roman imperial authority. A beaded border encircles the design. The obverse legend arcs around the bust. |
