« on: November 01, 2017, 08:27:20 am »
Dear cf,

i am not sure what the best way for legend is
i would say HADRIANVS AVGGVSTVS REN (sic double GG)

RPC 1441

Reference.
unpublished; RPC III, 1441var. on reverse legend; RIC 532 var.; C. 576 var. (Augustus); Metcalf, Cistophori of Hadrian 92 var.

Person   Augustus (under Hadrian) (Divus)

Obv. IMP CAESAR AVGVSTVS
Head of Augustus r.

Rev. HADRIANVS AVG GVSTVS REN (sic) or HADRIANVS AVGGVSTVS REN (sic)?

Hi Eric,
Nice coin!
I would vote for putting the GG together since that is how it appears on the coin.
