| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare-headed, draped bust of Antinous facing right, rendered in the idealized Hellenistic style characteristic of posthumous portraits of the deified favorite of Hadrian. The youthful effigy displays the distinctive full, wavy hair and softly modeled facial features associated with the canonical Antinous portrait type. A circular legend in Greek surrounds the bust, identifying the issuing priest. The portrait is positioned centrally within the coin field, with the legend running along the full circumference. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Corinth's civic bronze issues under Hadrian reflect the emperor's unusually direct investment in the city — the inscription ΩΚΟΔΟΜΗΣΕΝ, meaning "he built," is a rare epigraphic acknowledgment on coinage of specific imperial construction activity rather than generic honorific titulature. Hadrian visited Corinth at least twice, and the city received substantial building patronage during his reign.
The sheer diameter of this piece places it among the largest provincial bronzes of the period, a scale reserved for issues intended to circulate as prestige denominations rather than everyday small change.
