| Obverse description | Bare-headed and bearded bust of Lucius Aelius Caesar facing right, with distinctively thick, curly hair rendered in the elaborate Hadrianic style. The portrait is executed with fine naturalistic detail, capturing the subject's youthful features and short beard. The encircling Latin legend reads L AELIVS CAESAR, identifying the subject as Hadrian's adopted heir and designated successor. The flan is slightly irregular in shape, characteristic of hand-struck Roman silver coinage of the Hadrianic period. |
