| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of the emperor Hadrian facing right, rendered in three-quarter rear view. The portrait conveys the characteristic Hadrianic style with a full beard, a hallmark introduced by this emperor to Roman imperial coinage. The obverse legend encircles the effigy in crisp Latin capitals. The workmanship reflects the high artistic standards of the Rome mint during Hadrian's mature reign. |
