| Obverse description | Bare or laureate head of Augustus facing right, depicted in the Roman provincial style typical of North African civic mints of the Augustan period. The portrait is rendered in low relief with a draped bust, showing the characteristic idealized features associated with early imperial iconography. A dotted border frames the design around the coin's periphery. The legend HADRVME curves around the field, identifying the issuing city of Hadrumetum in Africa Proconsularis. The flan is irregular and the strike somewhat uneven, consistent with provincial hammered bronze coinage of this era. |
