| Obverse description | Bare-headed and laureate bust of Emperor Hadrian facing right, depicted with a short beard characteristic of his portraiture, the effigy showing the emperor in mature years with finely rendered hair bound by a laurel wreath. The bust is draped and cuirassed, rendered in high relief with confident workmanship typical of the Trajanic-Hadrianic mint tradition. A beaded border frames the flan around the perimeter. The encircling legend reads HADRIANVS AVG COS III P P, distributed around the obverse field. |
