| Obverse description | Bare-shouldered, laureate bust of Hadrian facing right, rendered in high relief with finely detailed curly hair and full beard — a hallmark of Hadrianic portraiture. The emperor's strong profile features a prominent brow, aquiline nose, and characteristic beard that distinguished his coinage from his predecessors. A dotted border encircles the field. The Latin legend runs around the periphery identifying the emperor by name and titles. |
