| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Emperor Hadrian facing right, with a short beard rendered in fine granular detail characteristic of his portraiture. The emperor is depicted wearing a paludamentum fastened at the shoulder, visible at the truncation. The portrait exhibits the refined Hellenistic-influenced style associated with Hadrianic coinage, with individualized facial features including a broad forehead and strong jaw. The surrounding field is plain, and the legend is disposed in a continuous arc around the bust within a finely beaded border. |
