| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Hadrian facing right, rendered in high relief with fine engraving of the emperor's characteristic short beard and curled hair beneath the laurel wreath. The portrait conveys a strong, authoritative profile typical of early Hadrianic coinage struck at the Rome mint in 117 AD. The encircling legend reads IMP CAES TRAIAN HADRIANO AVG DIVI TRA, distributed around the entire periphery of the flan. The flan is slightly irregular in shape, consistent with hand-struck hammered coinage of the period. |
