| Obverse description | Laureate, cuirassed bust of the emperor Hadrian facing right, rendered in a frontal three-quarter perspective that emphasizes the musculature of the imperial cuirass. The effigy displays the characteristic short beard and curly hair associated with Hadrian's portraiture, executed in the refined Hellenizing style favored during his reign. The surrounding Latin legend reads HADRIANVS AVGVSTVS, distributed along the periphery of the flan. The striking is characteristic of the hammered orichalcum sestertii produced at Rome during the late 120s to early 130s AD. |
