| Obverse description | Bare-shouldered, draped and laureate bust of Hadrian facing right, rendered with the characteristic beard and curled hair of the emperor's mature portrait type. The effigy displays finely modeled facial features with a strong profile, the laurel wreath crowning the head in the imperial tradition. The legend is disposed around the periphery within a beaded border, reading HADRIANVS AVG COS III P P. The overall die work reflects the accomplished engraving style of the Roman imperial workshops under Hadrian. |
