| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare-shouldered, draped and laureate bust of Emperor Hadrian facing right, rendered with characteristic short beard and finely detailed hair arranged in the Hadrianic style with curled locks across the forehead. The portrait is executed with high relief and naturalistic precision, conveying imperial gravitas. The legend encircles the effigy in a continuous inscription along the border of the flan. The coin displays the somewhat irregular, hand-struck flan typical of Roman imperial hammered silver coinage of the period. |

FORT RED — Fortuna Redux, "Fortuna who brings back" — was a cult title invoked specifically for the safe return of an emperor from travel abroad. Hadrian's adoption of the type in 128–129 coincides with his extensive provincial tours, during which he spent more time outside Italy than in it, visiting Britain, the Rhine frontier, Asia Minor, and Greece in the years preceding this issue. The type is essentially a public announcement that he has returned, or is expected to return, safely to Rome.
