| Obverse lettering | HADRIANVS AVG COS III P P (Translation: Hadrian, emperor, consul for the third time, father of the nation.) |
| Reverse description | The personification of Hispania reclines to the left in a languid pose, draped in a flowing garment, her head turned slightly toward the viewer. She extends her right hand forward, presenting an olive branch or similar foliage, a symbol of the province's agricultural and natural wealth. A rabbit, the emblematic animal of the Iberian Peninsula, crouches at her feet in the lower field, serving as an unmistakable geographic attribute. The legend HISPANIA arcs across the upper field, while the senatorial authority mark S C (Senatus Consulto) appears in the lower exergue, flanking the central design. The entire composition is enclosed within a beaded border and exemplifies Hadrian's celebrated 'Provinces' series, which honored the territories of the Roman Empire. |
