| Obverse description | Draped bust of Emperor Hadrian facing left, with bare head rendered in the Hellenistic portrait tradition characteristic of his coinage. The imperial effigy is depicted with the emperor's distinctive short beard and curled hair, shown from the shoulder upward in left profile. The encircling Latin legend reads HADRIANVS AVG COS III P P, distributed around the periphery of the flan. The portrait exhibits the refined sculptural quality associated with Hadrianic bronzes struck at the Rome mint, with naturalistic modelling of facial features. The coin displays an attractive green patina consistent with extended burial. |
