Beschrijving voorzijde Bare-headed and draped bust of Emperor Hadrian facing right, rendered with characteristic portraiture showing the emperor's beard and short curled hair. The effigy displays a mature, naturalistic likeness consistent with Hadrianic artistic conventions, with the bust truncated at the shoulder. The encircling Latin legend reads HADRIANVS AVGVSTVS, distributed around the periphery of the flan within a beaded border. The coin exhibits an olive-brown patina with areas of verde antique typical of excavated bronze issues of this period.

Aanvullende informatie

Hadrian's third consulship, which began in 119 AD, was a largely ceremonial office by the time these coins were struck a decade later — he never held it actively. The IVSTITIA reverse type belongs to a broader programmatic series Hadrian used to advertise imperial virtues, issued in the years following his major provincial tours, when he was reshaping his public image from traveling administrator back to Rome-centered ruler. Whether the emphasis on justice was genuine policy messaging or post-tour political reassurance to the Senate remains a matter of debate among scholars of the period.
