| Obverse description | Laureate and bearded bust of Hadrian facing right, rendered with finely detailed curly hair and a full beard characteristic of the emperor's mature portrait type. The effigy is depicted bare-headed save for the laurel wreath, with the neck truncation visible at the base. The circular legend HADRIANVS AVGVSTVS runs along the periphery within a beaded border, reading from lower left to upper right. The portrait exhibits the Hellenistic artistic influence favored during Hadrian's reign, with naturalistic facial modeling and individualized features. The field is broad and slightly convex, typical of orichalcum sestertii of this period. |
