| Beschrijving keerzijde | Tetrastyle temple depicted in three-quarter perspective, raised upon a podium of three steps, representing the celebrated Didymaion sanctuary of Apollo at Didyma near Miletus. Within the intercolumniation stands a frontal cult image of Apollo Didymeus, holding a stag in one hand and a bow in the other, attributes closely associated with this oracular deity. The architectural rendering emphasises the grandeur of the sanctuary, one of the largest temples of antiquity. The abbreviated legend COS III appears in the field, referencing Hadrian's third consulship. |

Miletus, though long past its Archaic-period peak as a commercial and intellectual hub, retained enough civic prestige under Roman administration to strike coins in Hadrian's name through the conventus system — a judicial circuit arrangement that concentrated Roman administrative activity, and with it coin production, in designated provincial centers. Hadrian visited the eastern provinces extensively between 123 and 129 AD, and his presence in Asia Minor directly stimulated local civic coinage as cities competed to honor the traveling emperor.
The COS III designation places this issue no earlier than 119 AD, when Hadrian entered his third consulship — a tenure he held continuously for the remainder of his reign.
