| Reverse description | The reverse depicts Hadrian on horseback, mounted on a galloping horse moving to the left, with his cloak billowing dramatically behind him in the field. The emperor is shown in military attire, raising his right arm and holding a spear or lance horizontally in his left hand, conveying an image of imperial authority and martial prowess. The horse is rendered in vigorous motion with forelegs raised, a composition typical of equestrian types on Hadrianic gold coinage. The abbreviated legend COS III is disposed around the figure in the field, denoting Hadrian's third consulship. A beaded border encircles the design on this irregularly-flan hammered aureus. |
