| Obverse description | Bare-headed, bearded bust of Emperor Hadrian facing right, draped at the shoulder, rendered in high relief with characteristic curly hair and full beard that became his dynastic hallmark. The effigy is depicted from the rear-quarter perspective, with paludamentum visible over the left shoulder. The surrounding field carries the Latin imperial titulature in clearly incuse lettering. The portrait conveys the Hellenistic artistic sensibility favoured under Hadrian's reign, with naturalistic facial modelling typical of the later Hadrianic series. |
