| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Hadrian facing right, depicted with a short beard in the Hellenistic imperial style characteristic of Alexandrian coinage. The emperor wears a paludamentum fastened at the shoulder, with elaborate folds of drapery visible. The surrounding Greek legend reads ΑΥΤ ΚΑΙϹ ΤΡΑΙΑΝ ΑΔΡΙΑΝΟϹ ϹΕΒ, identifying the emperor as Autocrator Caesar Trajan Hadrian Augustus. The portrait displays fine engraving with individualized facial features typical of the Alexandrian mint's skilled artisans. |
