| Beschrijving keerzijde | Frontal view of the hexastyle Temple of Apollo at Delphi, depicted with six columns supporting an elaborately decorated entablature and pediment. Figural sculpture occupies the pediment, the apex, and the acroteria at the corners of the roofline. The Greek letter Ε (epsilon) appears between the two central columns, likely referencing the enigmatic sacred inscription at Delphi. The civic ethnic legend ΔΕΛΦΩΝ is inscribed in the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Delphi's civic bronze issues under Hadrian reflect a city actively cultivating imperial favor. Hadrian visited the sanctuary at least twice — in 125 and again in 129 AD — and was elected archon of the Amphictyonic League, the religious body that administered the Delphic oracle. The city had strong motivation to produce honorific coinage in his name, and issues from this period likely circulated within the sanctuary economy, used by pilgrims, merchants, and festival attendees rather than in any broader regional trade.
The ΔΕΛΦΩΝ ethnic places this firmly among civic issues asserting local identity under Roman provincial administration.
