| Beschrijving keerzijde | Concordia, goddess of harmony, seated left on a ornate throne, rendered in draped robes falling in fine folds. She extends her right hand forward holding a patera (libation dish), while her left arm rests upon the throne and supports a cornucopia, symbol of abundance. The legend encircles the field, divided above and below the central type, with CONCORD appearing in the lower exergual area. The composition exemplifies the early Hadrianic reverse style, combining a dignified seated deity with a succinct propagandistic legend affirming Hadrian's constitutional titles. |

Struck in 117 AD, the year Hadrian came to power under contested circumstances — Trajan died in Cilicia before formally adopting him, and the adoption documents were widely rumored to have been backdated by Trajan's wife Plotina. The early coinage of Hadrian's reign, bearing only COS II before his third consulship in 119, served an immediate political function: projecting legitimacy during a succession that career senators viewed with open suspicion.
The CONCORD type belongs to a tight cluster of early issues from this moment, before the mint settled into the longer series that would define his reign.
