| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Hadrian facing right, with a full beard rendered in fine detail characteristic of Hadrianic portraiture. The emperor's hair is elaborately styled beneath a wreath of laurel, and drapery is visible at the left shoulder. The circumferential legend reads HADRIANVS AVG COS III P P, distributed around the bust. The portrait exhibits the high-relief sculptural quality typical of the Rome mint under Hadrian, conveying imperial authority and Hellenic refinement. |
