| Obverse description | Laureate draped bust of Hadrian facing right, with finely rendered hair and laurel wreath. The emperor's portrait displays the characteristic Hadrianic beard, a stylistic innovation that distinguished his coinage from earlier emperors. The circumferential legend in Latin capitals runs along the outer rim of the flan. The flan is irregularly shaped, as typical of hand-struck Roman silver coinage of this period, with patches of light patination and green encrustation visible across the surface. |
