| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Hadrian facing right, rendered in high relief with finely detailed curled hair and short beard characteristic of the emperor's mature portraiture. The neck is slightly draped at the shoulder, and the overall style reflects the Hellenizing aesthetic favored under Hadrian's reign. The encircling legend reads IMP CAESAR TRAIAN HADRIANVS AVG, distributed evenly around the periphery of the flan. The portrait exhibits confident die engraving typical of the Rome mint at this period, with strong facial features and naturalistic treatment of the beard. A beaded or denticulated border frames the design. |
