| Obverse description | Bare-headed, bearded bust of Emperor Hadrian facing right, rendered with fine naturalistic detail characteristic of Hadrianic portraiture; the hair is rendered in flowing, softly curled locks arranged across the forehead and temples. The truncation of the bare chest is visible at the base. The surrounding legend reads HADRIANVS AVG COS III P P, disposed clockwise around the effigy within a beaded border. |
