| Obverse description | Bare-headed and bearded bust of Hadrian facing right, rendered without drapery, displaying the emperor's characteristic curly hair and full beard in the Hellenistic philhellene style he adopted. The portrait is executed with fine naturalistic detail, capturing the textured curls of the beard and the wavy locks of the hair. The surrounding legend is disposed in two arcs along the coin's inner border, separated by a beaded border (grenetis). The effigy projects with strong relief from the flat field, consistent with the high artistic standards of the Rome mint during the late Hadrianic period. |
