| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Hadrian facing right, with characteristic beard rendered in finely engraved wavy strands, the emperor depicted with strong, naturalistic facial features typical of early Hadrianic portraiture. The effigy shows the bare neck and partial drapery over the left shoulder. The encircling Latin legend reads IMP CAESAR TRAIAN HADRIANVS AVG, distributed around the periphery of the flan. The die engraving demonstrates the high artistic quality associated with the Rome mint under Hadrian, combining Hellenistic portrait idealism with Roman imperial convention. |
