THRACE, Coela Hadrian, help needed

[okidoki]

Dear cf,

can you help me with reading the legends?
also it seems to have a counter mark

Obv. [IMP] CAESA[RΙ TRAIAN] HADRIANVS . .?
Laureate and draped bust of Hadrian, right

REV. ??
Prow left

4.98 gr
19 mm

[sagit]

Should be AELΙ MVNICIPI COELAN or something like that.
The reverse legend is (at least - partially) retrograde (should be engraver's error).
When mirrored - the legend becomes quite legible.

Nicely done, sagit => very cool way of making it legible (hats-off)

 

Oh sorry => and that's another very cool addition, Oki (you are the King of the Hadrian coins, my sweet ol' friend)

Cheers
