| Obverse description | Laureate, cuirassed bust of Emperor Hadrian facing right, depicted from the front in three-quarter view, with paludamentum visible at the shoulder. The imperial effigy is rendered in the fine high-relief style characteristic of early Hadrianic gold coinage. The surrounding legend in Latin capital letters reads IMP CAESAR TRAIAN HADRIANVS AVG, running clockwise around the periphery of the flan. The portrait conveys regal authority, with carefully engraved facial features and a tightly bound laurel wreath crowning the emperor's head. |
