| Beschrijving keerzijde | The goddess Fortuna Redux seated left upon a high-backed throne, draped in flowing robes, holding a long rudder downward in her right hand and a cornucopia in her left arm, symbolic of guidance and abundance. The figure is depicted in a composed, frontal-facing seated posture with feet resting on the throne's footrest. A dotted border frames the design, with the two-word Latin legend distributed in the field on either side of the enthroned deity. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
FORTVNAE REDVCI — "to Fortune the home-bringer" — was a title invoked specifically for a ruler's safe return from travel abroad. Hadrian was the most itinerant emperor Rome ever produced, spending roughly half his reign touring the provinces, and this issue almost certainly commemorates one of his two major imperial tours, likely the return from his eastern journey of 128–130 AD that took him through Greece, Asia Minor, and Egypt.
The Alexandrian leg of that journey is well-documented; Hadrian was present when the Colossus of Memnon reportedly sang for him at dawn.
