| Reverse description | Hadrian standing left on a rostra (speaker's platform), right arm raised in adlocutio gesture addressing a group of citizens standing to the left; to the right in the background, a temple is visible. The composition reflects the adlocutio type common to Hadrianic coinage, celebrating the emperor's direct engagement with the populace. The legend COS III appears in the field, with the senatorial authority mark S C (Senatus Consultum) prominently placed, affirming the senate's sanction of the issue. |
