| 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 | Hadrian standing to the right, wearing imperial robes and holding a scroll, extends his right hand in greeting toward Fortuna, who is seated to the left on a throne. Fortuna holds a cornucopia in her left arm, symbolizing abundance and favorable return. The composition conveys the emperor's safe return and divine favor, a recurring propagandistic theme on Hadrianic coinage. The reverse legend FORTVNAE REDVCI is distributed in the field, with the senatorial authorization mark S C prominently placed in the exergue or field below the figures. |
