| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of the deified emperor Trajan facing right, viewed from the rear or side, with the cuirass rendered in fine detail. The obverse legend encircles the effigy within a beaded border, acclaiming Trajan as the divine father of the reigning emperor Hadrian. The portrait reflects the high-quality die-cutting characteristic of early Hadrianic aurei struck in honor of Trajan's consecratio. |
