| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate, cuirassed bust of Hadrian facing right, rendered in three-quarter frontal view with pronounced sculptural modelling characteristic of the Hadrianic imperial portrait style. The emperor's curly hair and short beard are rendered in fine detail beneath the laurel wreath, while the muscled cuirass is visible at the truncation. The encircling legend runs clockwise within a beaded border. |

Hadrian's IVSTITIA issues belong to a broader programmatic series he deployed from around 128 onward, using coinage to personify virtues — justice, equity, clemency — in deliberate contrast to the militaristic imagery favored by Trajan. This was political messaging as much as monetary policy; Hadrian had already abandoned Trajan's eastern conquests and needed a domestic ideological framework to justify a reign built on consolidation rather than expansion.
The COS III designation fixes this to his third consulship, held from 119 but used on coin legends well into the 130s.
