Very nice portrait of Hadrian. Would be welcome in any collection of detailed portraits.
Despite its smaller flan vs. the sestertius you can still get some wonderful detail on a dupondius.

Wonderful coin, Eric!
Nicely detailed, full legible texts; nice early (=rather ugly looking) portrait. Double mentioning of Trajan - it has it all!

Congrats!
