Obverse lettering HADRIANVS AVG COS III P P
(Translation: Hadrianus Augustus, Consul Tertium, Pater Patriae. Hadrian, emperor (Augustus), consul for the third time, father of the nation.)
Reverse description The personification of Felicitas, goddess of good fortune and prosperity, rendered as a standing draped female figure facing left. She holds a caduceus in her right hand and a cornucopia in her left, both emblems of abundance and divine favour. The senatorial authorization mark S C (Senatus Consultum) is prominently placed in the field to either side of the figure, consistent with the standard format of Hadrianic bronze coinage. The reverse legend encircles the design along the coin's periphery. The style is typical of the skilled die-engravers working at the Rome mint during the mature phase of Hadrian's reign.
