| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate bust of Emperor Hadrian facing right, draped and cuirassed, with an aegis visible on the left shoulder. The portrait displays the characteristic short beard and curly hair associated with Hadrian's imperial effigy. The surrounding legend reads IMP CAESAR TRA HADRIANVS, divided across the field. The bust is rendered in the high-relief provincial style typical of Corinthian colonial bronze coinage of the early second century AD. |

Corinth had been razed by Lucius Mummius in 146 BC and lay desolate for a century before Julius Caesar refounded it as Colonia Laus Iulia Corinthiensis in 44 BC — the year of his assassination. The colonial title on this coin, COL L IVL COR, preserves that Caesarian foundation directly. Provincial bronze of this type was struck locally to fill the gap left by Rome's indifference to small-denomination coinage in the eastern provinces.
Hadrian visited Corinth during his Greek tour of 124–125 AD, and issues attributable to his early reign from this mint are notably variable in fabric, suggesting intermittent rather than continuous production.
