| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Hadrian facing right, rendered with the emperor's characteristic short beard — a distinctive iconographic innovation of his reign. The effigy displays confident portraiture in the Hadrianic style, with carefully delineated facial features and curled hair beneath the laurel wreath. The encircling legend reads IMP CAESAR TRAIAN HADRIANVS AVG, disposed around the bust from left to right. The coin exhibits a deep olive-green patina consistent with orichalcum alloy of the early second century AD. |
