Hadrian Dupondius OTD
« on: February 10, 2017, 11:38:41 am »
This coin is difficult to photograph because of the black patina, nevertheless I hope the amazing details come through very well.

Obv. HADRIANVS AVGVSTVS, radiate bust right with drapery on left shoulder.
Rev. COS III S C, Salus seated left resting left arm on chair and with patera in right hand feeding snake coiled around altar to left.
Mint: Rome, 124-128 A.D.

27mm 14.51g

RIC 657, C. 370

Very elegant execution; both of Hadrian's head and of Salus, who sits relaxedly  at the altar.
Very nice!
