| Reverse description | A standing female figure, combining the attributes of Spes and Fortuna, depicted facing left in flowing robes. She leans with her right hand upon a rudder resting on a globe, symbolizing guidance and providence over the world, while holding a flower in her right hand and a cornucopia in her left, emblems of hope and abundance. The composition conveys the ideological message of imperial prosperity and the hope of the Roman people. The reverse legend SPES P R is inscribed in the field around the figure. |
