| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate and cuirassed bust of Emperor Hadrian facing right, rendered in high relief with finely detailed hair and a short beard characteristic of the emperor's portraiture. The cuirass displays elaborate decorative articulation at the shoulder straps and pteryges visible at the lower edge of the bust. The encircling Greek legend runs along the beaded border, identifying the emperor through his full titulature and divine lineage. The portrait exhibits the confident, idealized style of Antiochene die engraving typical of the early Hadrianic period. |

Hadrian's third consulship, referenced in the ΥΠΑΤ Γ legend, dates this issue precisely to 119 AD — the year he was still consolidating authority after abandoning Trajan's eastern conquests and executing four senior senators whose loyalty he doubted. The Antioch mint under Roman administration struck these tetradrachms as the dominant silver currency of Syria, continuing a civic coinage tradition that stretched back to the Seleucids.
Prieur 157 and McAlee 534 are well-documented varieties, but the Antioch tetradrachm series is notorious for inconsistent die alignment and surface porosity from the local silver supply.
