| Obverse description | Laureate draped bust of Hadrian facing right, the emperor portrayed with his characteristic short beard and pronounced features in the Hellenistic tradition. The effigy is rendered in high relief, with the paludamentum visible at the truncation of the shoulder. The circumferential legend reads IMP CAESAR TRAIANVS HADRIANVS AVG in Latin capitals, distributed around the periphery of the flan. The flan exhibits an irregular edge with several chips consistent with hammered production, and the surfaces display a warm reddish-brown patina with traces of green corrosion typical of aged orichalcum. |
