| Reverse description | The Genius of the Golden Age (Saeculum Aureum) stands facing left within a large decorative wreath or oval border composed of a beaded inner ring, depicted as a nude male figure with a chlamys draped over his left arm. He holds a patera in his raised right hand and a cornucopia in his left, emblematic of abundance and divine favour. The figure's pose is dynamic, with one leg slightly advanced, conveying vitality and classical elegance. The reverse legend is distributed around the wreath border, with SAEC AVR inscribed in the lower exergual area, alluding to Hadrian's proclamation of a new golden age for the empire. |
