| Reverse description | Draped bust of Diva Plotina facing right, the effigy wearing a diadem, her hair drawn back and arranged in a characteristic queue or nodus at the nape of the neck, a style closely associated with her portraiture. The drapery is rendered with careful detail across the truncation. The encircling Latin legend PLOTINAE AVG honours the deified wife of Trajan, whose memory Hadrian promoted through this posthumous coinage issued shortly after his accession. |
