| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare laureate head of Emperor Hadrian facing right, depicted in the characteristic provincial Greek style of the early second century AD. The portrait shows the emperor's hair rendered in tight curls across the forehead, with the laurel wreath encircling the head. A circular Greek legend surrounds the effigy, reading ΑΥ(Τ) ΚΑΙ ΤΡΑΙ ΑΔΡΙΑΝΟϹ, identifying the emperor as Autocrator Caesar Trajan Hadrian. The flan is slightly irregular, as is typical of provincial bronze coinage of this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Hadriani ad Olympum was a city in Mysia whose very name commemorated the emperor's personal affection for the region — Hadrian traveled through Asia Minor multiple times and actively encouraged the foundation or refoundation of cities bearing his name. This coin, issued under the conventus of Adramyteum, reflects the administrative reality of Roman provincial organization in the Greek-speaking west, where civic coinage was produced not under imperial direction but as a local privilege, the city essentially advertising its loyalty and Hadrianic connection in bronze.
The Olympum suffix distinguishes this city from the several other Hadrian-named foundations across the empire.
