| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Hadrian facing left, viewed from the rear or side, rendered in high relief with finely detailed drapery folds over the cuirass. The imperial effigy is encircled by the Latin legend HADRIANVS AVG COS III P P, disposed around the periphery of the flan. The portrait reflects the classicizing Hellenistic style characteristic of Hadrianic coinage, with precise engraving of the emperor's characteristic full beard and close-cropped hair beneath the laureate wreath. |
