Hi Oki,
Congrats on a very interesting coin. To me the countermark seems similar to this one:

https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-9695

The description of which reads:

Quote
...The obverse countermark appears to read ADR, Emperor Hadrian; however a nearly identical mark has been interpreted as DeltaAK, Trajan's title Dacius.

would either of those make sense for a countermark on a coin of Hadrian?

Hi oki,

To me, the countermark looks like a bee or a fly, one where the head is not fully struck up.

Ironically, EB's avatar is a bee.
