Commentary
La monnaie ne semble pas référencée avec le buste tête nue mais l’est pour le buste lauré. Un exemplaire similaire est passé à la vente chez NAC (Auction 84, lot n° 995).
The coin does not appear to be referenced with the bare-headed bust but is referenced for the laureate bust. A similar example was sold at NAC (Auction 84, lot no. 995).

Historical background
HADRIAN
(08/11/117-07/10/138)
Hadrian was born in 76 in Italica. Pupil of Trajan, he married in 100 Sabine, grand-niece of the emperor, and made a career in the staff of the latter, in particular during the Dacian campaign. In 117, he succeeded Trajan, and traveled for twenty years, visiting the entire empire - the only Emperor to have lent himself to this exercise. In 122, Hadrian went to Spain. Childless, he first chose Aélius to succeed him in 136, but the latter died on January 1, 138. Hadrian then adopted Antonin on February 25 and himself chose Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus as Antoninus' heirs. He died on July 10, 138.
