| Obverse description | Bare-headed, laureate bust of Emperor Hadrian facing right, with characteristic short curly hair and a full beard, rendered in finely modelled high relief typical of Hadrianic portraiture. The truncation of the bust is visible at the lower edge of the flan. The encircling Latin legend reads HADRIANVS AVG COS III P P, distributed around the obverse field, with a beaded border framing the design. The portrait reflects the classicising artistic style favoured during Hadrian's reign, with naturalistic facial features and precise detail in the hair and beard. |
