| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate and cuirassed bust of Emperor Hadrian facing right, depicted in three-quarter front view, with paludamentum visible at the shoulder. The effigy presents the emperor in full military attire, the cuirass rendered with characteristic Roman precision. A partial legend in Latin surrounds the bust along the upper field. The flan is irregular and the strike somewhat worn, consistent with provincial bronze coinage of the early Hadrianic period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Corinth's early Hadrianic bronzes occupy a narrow window: the city was still recalibrating its civic identity following Trajan's death in August 117, and the new emperor's philhellenic reputation made Greek provincial mints unusually eager to demonstrate loyalty through rapid issue. Corinth, refounded as a Roman colony by Caesar in 44 BC, maintained a complicated dual identity — Latin in administration, Greek in everything else — and its provincial coinage reflects that tension throughout the Hadrianic period.
The III#117 reference places this among the earlier attributions in the Corinth series, struck before Hadrian's first Greek tour of 124–125 AD reshaped how the city presented itself numismatically.
