| Obverse description | Bare-headed, draped and cuirassed bust of the emperor Hadrian facing right, viewed from behind the shoulder, with the characteristic short beard and laureate head rendered in high relief. The emperor's paludamentum is visible over the cuirass, falling across the left shoulder. The encircling Latin legend is positioned along the inner border of the coin's field, with a beaded border framing the periphery. The portrait exhibits the strong, individualistic facial features associated with Hadrianic die-cutting, reflecting the mature Imperial style of the early second century AD. |
