| Obverse description | Laureate, draped bust of Hadrian facing right, with characteristic short beard rendered in fine curling strands, viewed from the rear or side. The emperor's effigy displays the paludamentum fastened at the shoulder, reflecting his dual role as military commander and statesman. The portrait exhibits the refined Hellenistic artistic style favored during Hadrian's reign, with deeply modelled facial features and naturalistic hair. The surrounding field carries the Latin legend distributed around the rim. The flan shows the characteristic irregular outline typical of hammered Roman bronze coinage of the period. |
