| Obverse lettering | IMP CAESAR TRAIAN HADRIANVS AVG (Translation: Supreme commander, Caesar, Trajan Hadrian, emperor.) |
| Reverse description | The personification of Aeternitas stands facing, her head turned to the left, draped in a long chiton and himation. She extends her right hand to present the radiate bust of Sol, the sun god, and raises her left hand to display the crescent-crowned bust of Luna, the moon goddess, symbolizing the eternal and cyclical nature of imperial power. The legend P M TR P COS II is distributed around the upper field, with AET and AVG flanking the central figure in the lower field, all within a plain border. The composition is characteristic of the Hadrianic allegorical reverse types struck at the Rome mint during the first year of his reign. |
