| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Emperor Hadrian facing right, rendered in high relief in the characteristic Roman imperial portrait style. The emperor's features display the full beard he adopted early in his reign, a noted departure from his clean-shaven predecessors, with curling hair emerging beneath the laurel wreath. The paludamentum (military cloak) is visible over the left shoulder, fastened at the chest. The encircling Latin legend IMP CAESAR TRAIAN HADRIANVS AVG runs along the coin's periphery. The portrait exhibits the refined Hellenistic artistic sensibility that distinguishes Hadrianic coinage from earlier imperial issues. |
