| Obverse description | Bare-headed, draped bust of Hadrian facing right, depicted with his characteristic short curly hair and beard, viewed from the rear or side in the so-called 'heroic' presentation. The emperor's paludamentum is visible at the shoulder, rendered in fine folds. The encircling Latin legend reads HADRIANVS AVG COS III P P, distributed around the periphery of the flan. The portrait displays the refined Hellenistic artistic style characteristic of Hadrianic imperial coinage. |
