| Beschrijving keerzijde | The goddess Salus (Health/Safety) is depicted seated to the left on a high-backed throne, her figure draped in flowing robes. She extends her right hand forward holding a patera from which she feeds a large serpent rising from an altar situated to her left, the snake coiling upward toward the offered dish. The composition is a well-balanced, classically rendered allegory of imperial well-being, with the legend divided across the field and exergual area encircling the design. |

Hadrian's early coinage after consolidating power saw a deliberate program of personified virtue types — Salus among them — designed to distance his administration from the militarism of Trajan's final campaigns. The COS III dating places this firmly in 119–121, before Hadrian's extended tour of the provinces began reshaping his public image abroad. Salus as a theme was politically useful: Rome had just weathered a contested succession and a costly Jewish revolt suppression, and projecting health and stability of the state was not incidental.
