| Obverse description | Bare-headed and bearded bust of Emperor Hadrian facing left, draped at the shoulder, rendered in high relief with fine naturalistic detail typical of Hadrianic portraiture. The emperor's curly hair and full beard are carefully rendered, reflecting the philhellenic aesthetic Hadrian cultivated throughout his reign. The laureate legend encircles the bust, reading from left to right around the flan. The portrait conveys the mature, authoritative likeness of Hadrian as seen on coins of his later reign. |
