Reverse description The goddess Fortuna Redux seated left on a throne, draped and depicted in three-quarter view, extending a rudder in her right hand and cradling a large cornucopia in her left arm, symbolising safe return and divine abundance. The throne is rendered with clear structural detail beneath the figure. The legend COS III P P FORT RED is distributed around the upper and outer field, while S C flanks the seated figure in the lower field, denoting senatorial authority for the issue. The composition commemorates Hadrian's safe return from his provincial journeys, a recurring celebratory theme of his coinage.
