| Reverse description | Hadrian, togate and standing to the left, extends his right hand to raise the kneeling personification of Sicilia, who wears a distinctive triskeles headdress — the three-legged symbol emblematic of the island — and holds corn ears in her hand, referencing Sicily's celebrated agricultural fertility. Hadrian holds a scroll in his left hand, symbolising the imperial benefaction or edict restoring the province. The senatorial authority marker S C (Senatus Consultum) appears in the field, and the reverse legend is disposed around the upper periphery. |
