| Beschrijving voorzijde | Radiate, draped bust of Emperor Hadrian facing right, wearing a radiate crown with prominent rays, the bust rendered with characteristic curled hair and short beard in the Hadrianic style. The effigy occupies the central field, with the encircling Greek legend running along the periphery. The portraiture reflects the provincial workshop tradition of Asia Minor, with bold, slightly stylised modelling of the facial features. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Koinon of Bithynia was the provincial league responsible for the imperial cult in Bithynia-Pontus, and coins struck in its name served the league's religious and ceremonial functions rather than everyday commerce. Hadrian was unusually attentive to this region — he visited the province twice, and it was on the second visit, in 123 AD, that he famously encountered the young Antinous, a Bithynian from Claudiopolis. The personal connection between Hadrian and Bithynia made the province one of the more prolific sources of provincial bronze under his reign.
