| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Hadrian facing right, with the emperor's characteristic beard and curling hair rendered in fine relief. The portrait presents the bust viewed from the rear quarter, with drapery visible over the left shoulder. The surrounding circular legend reads HADRIANVS AVGVSTVS, distributed across the field. The engraving reflects the refined classicising style characteristic of Hadrianic imperial portraiture, emphasizing idealized yet individualistic features. |
