(Translation: Hadrianus Augustus, Consul Tertium, Pater Patriae. Hadrian, emperor (Augustus), consul for the third time, father of the nation.)
Reverse description Standing figure of Hadrian in military dress facing right, extending his right hand to raise kneeling Italia from the ground while holding a scroll in his left hand. Italia, personified as a draped female figure, kneels in a gesture of submission and gratitude while holding a cornucopia in her left arm, symbolising abundance and prosperity. The composition conveys Hadrian's celebrated role as benefactor and restorer of Italy. The legend RESTITVTORI ITALIAE is inscribed in the field, with the senatorial authority mark S C (Senatus Consultum) prominently placed, affirming the senate's authorisation of this bronze coinage issue.
