| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Emperor Hadrian facing right, rendered in the restrained classical style characteristic of early Hadrianic coinage. The emperor is depicted with his distinctive short beard, a feature introduced by Hadrian as a philhellenic affectation that set the fashion for subsequent emperors. The bust is rendered with careful attention to portraiture, showing the cuirass beneath the paludamentum. The encircling legend IMP CAESAR TRAIAN HADRIANVS AVG runs around the periphery of the obverse field, interrupted by a fine beaded border. |
