RIC II, 2b (S).

Scarce. Very fine.

One of the earliest coins of Hadrian, issued shortly after Trajan's death. Hadrian's succession to the throne was not undisputed, and his adoption by Trajan may have been a complete invention. The reverse legend on this coin calls himself the f(ilius) (son) of his deceased predecessor, indicating that the new emperor felt the need to boast the legitimacy of his rule in his first issue of coins.
