A typologically desirable, especially by jurists, Hadrian's denarius from the beginning of his reign (118 CE) with Iustitia - the Roman goddess of justice, law, and fairness. I was keen to acquire a specimen with a nice, early bust with a long neck and visible chest. By the way, I managed to add to my collection a scarce variant of the bust with a bare chest and balteus. 

Obverse:
