| Obverse description | Bare-headed and bearded laureate bust of Emperor Hadrian facing right, with drapery on the left shoulder, the portrait rendered in the characteristic Hellenistic style of his later coinage. The effigy displays Hadrian's distinctive short curly beard and hair, hallmarks of his numismatic portraiture. The encircling legend runs clockwise around the periphery of the flan. The die work is confident and typical of the Rome mint's output during Hadrian's later reign. |
