| Obverse description | Laureate, draped bust of Hadrian facing right, with the paludamentum visible over the left shoulder, rendered in high relief with finely detailed hair and beard characteristic of Hadrianic portraiture. The emperor's curly beard and wavy hair are sculpted with naturalistic precision, reflecting the Hellenizing artistic style favored during his reign. The circular legend surrounds the effigy, reading HADRIANVS AVG COS III P P, distributed along the inner border of the coin's rim. The flan shows the characteristic irregular edge typical of hand-struck orichalcum sestertii of the period. A beaded border frames the entire obverse field. |
