| Obverse description | Bare-headed, draped bust of Emperor Hadrian facing right, rendered with characteristic short curly hair and close-cropped beard, reflecting the Hellenizing portraiture style introduced by Hadrian. The effigy displays strong, naturalistic modelling typical of the Hadrianic school of Roman imperial portraiture. The encircling Latin legend reads HADRIANVS AVGVSTVS, distributed around the periphery of the flan. A dotted border frames the field. |
