The Quinarius - Sabina coin was minted during the reign of Emperor Hadrian (117-138 AD) and features a portrait of Hadrian's wife, Sabina, on the obverse (front side), with the goddess Juno on the reverse (back side). The coin's design was meant to emphasize the imperial couple's connection to the gods and to promote the idea of a divine right to rule.
