Obverse description Bare-headed, draped and cuirassed bust of Emperor Hadrian facing left, viewed from the rear, with the emperor's characteristic short beard and wavy hair rendered in fine detail. The effigy presents a mature, authoritative portrait consistent with late Hadrianic coinage. A beaded border frames the flan. The peripheral legend is incuse in Latin capital letters, partially visible owing to the irregular flan edge.
