| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of the emperor Hadrian facing right, rendered with the paludamentum visible over the left shoulder and the cuirass detailed in high relief, as viewed from the rear or side. The portrait captures the characteristic full beard of Hadrian, a deliberate departure from the clean-shaven convention of his predecessors, rendered with fine engraving typical of the Trajanic-Hadrianic workshop. The legend HADRIANVS AVGVSTVS encircles the effigy within a beaded border, distributed symmetrically around the periphery of the flan. |
