| Obverse description | Bare-necked laureate bust of Emperor Hadrian facing right, rendered in the characteristic Hadrianic portrait style with short curled hair and beard. The effigy displays a draped and cuirassed bust, with the imperial legend arranged around the periphery in Latin capitals. The portrait exhibits the hallmark Hellenistic idealization introduced under Hadrian, combining naturalistic facial features with imperial dignity. A pronounced die crack runs diagonally across the flan, and the surface retains a deep olive-green patina consistent with long burial. |
