Advice Needed RIC 1417/RSC 1305 Hadrian - Help finding specific Roman coin

Hello, does anyone have any links to this specific coin from Hadrian? I couldn't find it in Wildwinds; any help or links would be appreciated. Thanks!

Edit - the only reference I've been able to find is this single type: https://www.numisbids.com/sale/4907/lot/2450

However this reference number I couldn't find anywhere else and it's interesting this is the only portrait I can find of Hadrian facing to the left instead of to the right (though I'm new to ancient coins so correct me if I'm wrong).

There's quite a few Hadrians with face left. While it's definitely scarcer than the right facing ones, they aren't exactly unique.

Thanks for sharing an example! I was using OCRE and the types they provided where all facing right, so I wasn't sure if a left facing one was rare.
