| Obverse description | Bare-headed and draped bust of Emperor Hadrian facing right, depicted with his characteristic short curly hair and full beard, viewed from the rear or side. The emperor's paludamentum (military cloak) is visible at the shoulder, rendered with fine detail typical of Hadrianic portraiture. The encircling Latin legend reads HADRIANVS AVG COS III P P, distributed around the periphery of the flan. The portrait exhibits the refined Hellenistic artistic style favored under Hadrian's reign, with naturalistic facial features. The flan is of irregular round form, consistent with hand-struck Roman Imperial coinage of the period. |
