| Obverse description | Bare-shouldered, draped, and laureate bust of Emperor Hadrian facing right, rendered with characteristic curly beard and hair, the laurel wreath clearly defined in high relief. The portrait exhibits the idealized yet individualized style typical of Hadrianic coinage, with finely modeled facial features and a paludamentum visible at the truncation. The surrounding field carries the full imperial titulature in Latin, disposed in a continuous legend around the rim. The coin displays an attractive emerald-green patina consistent with its orichalcum fabric and age. |
