| Obverse description | Bare-headed, laureate and draped bust of Hadrian facing right, rendered with characteristic beard and idealized portrait features typical of his later coinage. The emperor's effigy is depicted with fine engraving of curled hair and a short, neatly trimmed beard, reflecting the Hellenistic artistic influence prevalent under his reign. The circular Latin legend reads HADRIANVS AVGVSTVS P P, distributed around the periphery of the flan. The flan itself is irregular in shape, as is common for hammered silver coinage of the period, with some edge irregularities visible. |
