| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare-headed, draped and cuirassed bust of Emperor Hadrian facing right, with a full beard rendered in fine detail, characteristic of his mature portraiture. The emperor's hair is shown in short, tightly curled locks across the forehead. A beaded border frames the periphery of the flan. The encircling Latin legend reads HADRIANVS AVG COS III P P, identifying the emperor by name and his principal titles. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Diana Ephesia coinage under Hadrian connects directly to his well-documented tour of the eastern provinces, undertaken between 128 and 132 AD. Hadrian visited Ephesus personally, and the city responded with an outpouring of honorific issues. The cult of Artemis/Diana at Ephesus was one of the wealthiest religious institutions in the ancient world, and imperial acknowledgment of it carried serious political weight in Asia Minor.
At 10.43g this piece sits heavy for the period — Hadrian's silver coinage was struck on a reduced standard inherited from Trajan, making examples above 10g worth noting against die records.
