| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Hadrian facing right, rendered in high relief with finely articulated curly hair and a short, neatly cropped beard characteristic of his portraiture. The emperor wears a laurel wreath and a paludamentum fastened at the right shoulder, presenting an authoritative imperial effigy. The facial features display the refined Hellenistic artistic influence prevalent in Hadrianic coinage. The legend encircles the bust along the coin's border, reading IMP CAESAR TRAIAN HADRIANVS AVG. The design is bordered by a beaded inner rim, with the broad, slightly concave flan typical of early Hadrianic aurei. |
