| Reverse description | Seven six-pointed stars arranged within and above a large upward-opening lunar crescent, which dominates the central field. The crescent is rendered with bold, deeply cut lines, its horns pointing upward, creating a striking celestial composition likely referencing Hadrian's interest in astrology and the divine order. The stars are distributed symmetrically across the field enclosed by the crescent's arc. The abbreviated consular legend COS III appears in the exergual area and flanking the design, identifying Hadrian's third consulship as the dating element for this issue. |
