| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Hadrian facing right, rendered from a rear or three-quarter rear perspective, a presentation style characteristic of his later coinage. The imperial portrait conveys authority through the combination of military cuirass and civic laurel wreath. The encircling legend in Latin reads HADRIANVS AVGVSTVS P P, denoting his titles of Augustus and Pater Patriae. The field is plain, with a beaded border framing the design. |
