| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Hadrian facing right, rendered in high relief characteristic of early Hadrianic coinage. The emperor's portrait displays his distinctive full beard, a deliberate departure from the clean-shaven convention of his predecessors, marking a philhellenic aesthetic. The circular legend surrounds the bust, reading IMP CAESAR TRAIAN HADRIANVS AVG, disposed along the periphery of the flan. The die work, though small in module, exhibits the refined engraving style associated with the Rome mint in the early second century AD. The flan is irregular and slightly off-center, consistent with hand-struck production. |
