| Opschrift voorzijde | IMP CAE TRAI-ANV HADR AV (Translation: Emperor Caesar Trajan Hadrian Augustus) |
| Beschrijving keerzijde | A cornucopia, abundantly filled with fruits and foliage, is depicted upright and positioned upon a globe, with the composition oriented to the right within the field. The cornucopia serves as a potent symbol of imperial prosperity and the colony's flourishing status, while the globe beneath alludes to Roman universal dominion. The colonial legend is distributed around the reverse field in Latin characters. The die work, though showing the typical characteristics of provincial bronze coinage, conveys the civic pride of the Roman colony of Corinth. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Corinth's colonial coinage under Hadrian reflects the city's unusual status as a Roman refoundation — Julius Caesar re-established it as Colonia Laus Iulia Corinthiensis in 44 BC, wiping out the Greek city that Mummius had razed in 146 BC. The colonial abbreviation in the legend carries that entire history compressed into three letters.
Hadrian visited Corinth at least twice, in 124 and again around 128–129 AD, and local bronze issues cluster around these imperial visits.
