I don't think so. here is an image of another coin of Sabina, She may have just been manly looking......
It clearly says Sabina on the obverse. Besides, they were family, so any similarities are not that stramge
Soooo often the portrait of an empress was that of the emperor to which and female hairdo was added. See Domitian/julia Titi, Maximinus thrax/Paulina and more Q
yes it looks like it started as a hadrian, by the carver. on this type of portrait she looks man like.
