Early denarius of Hadrian with Iustitia and rare bust variant (balteus)

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: IMP CAESAR TRAIAN HADRIANVS AVG, Bust of Hadrian, laureate, bare chest with balteus, traces of drapery on far shoulder, right;

Reverse: P M TR P COS II // IVSTITIA (in exergue), Justitia seated left on throne, holding patera and sceptre.
