I received the following coin.

A-Coin-Of-Hadrian
A-Coin-Of-Hadrian

Using the partial inscription search on https://www.wildwinds.com I managed to conclude it is a coin of emperor Hadrian. The averse is "HARDIANVS AVGVSTVS". Unfortuantely, I still have no idea what is (was) the inscription on the reverse. Does anyone know?
Thanks in advance.

P.S.
What denomination is this coin? What is it's value?

Doesn't seem to be listed in wildwinds, but it appears to be a AE Sestertius of Hadrian. From what I can make out from the the inscription it is HADRIANVS AVGVSTVS, CLEMENTIA AVG COS III PP.

Actually my eyes aren't so good, but I was able to make out a few of the letters and went from there.
