| Obverse description | Bare-headed, draped and cuirassed bust of Emperor Hadrian facing right, rendered with characteristic short curly hair and full beard — a distinctive iconographic feature introduced by Hadrian into Roman imperial portraiture. The bust is shown from the front-right perspective, with paludamentum fastened at the shoulder, conveying both imperial and military authority. The portrait exhibits high-relief modelling typical of Hadrianic aurei, with finely rendered facial features. The encircling Latin legend reads HADRIANVS AVG COS III P P, distributed around the bust within a beaded border. |
