| Obverse description | Draped bust of Sabina facing right, her hair elaborately arranged in a queue at the nape and adorned with a stephane, with a possible corn wreath encircling the coiffure. The empress's effigy is rendered in the refined Hadrianic court style, with finely detailed drapery folds at the shoulder. The encircling legend in Latin capitals names her as Augusta and consort of the reigning emperor. |
