| Reverse description | Three-line inscription MET / • / NOR enclosed within a finely rendered laurel wreath tied at the base, with a pellet above the wreath at the apex. The abbreviated legend reads Metallum Noricum, referencing the imperial mining operations in the province of Noricum, a significant source of high-quality iron and other metals for the Roman Empire. The wreath frames the field inscription in a balanced, well-centered composition typical of Hadrianic bronze coinage. The pellet between MET and NOR serves as a separating device, lending clarity to the abbreviated formula. |
