| Reverse description | The reverse depicts the personification of Hispania kneeling left before the standing figure of Hadrian, who extends his right hand in a gesture of beneficence toward her; Hispania raises her right hand offering a branch, while a rabbit — the traditional symbol of the Iberian Peninsula on Roman coinage — crouches at her feet. Hadrian stands in military dress, extending imperial patronage in a compositional type known as the 'restitutor' series, celebrating his grand tour of the provinces. The circumferential legend RESTITVTORI HISPANIAE, meaning 'To the restorer of Hispania', encircles the scene within a beaded border. The field is relatively flat and unadorned, focusing attention on the figural group. This type was issued to commemorate Hadrian's visit to the Hispanic provinces circa 130–133 AD and his benefactions to the region. |
