Note: Interestingly, no coins countermarks "AÎ”P" are also countermarked "Î”AK". "Î”AK" is clearly the more common of the two countermarks. The meaning of "AÎ”P" is uncertain. There are also coins of Macrinus from Leucas countermarked "AÎ”P", and Howgego therefore argues that it cannot refer to Hadrian. It seems odd, though, that issues of Trajan and Macrinus (but NONE of intervening emperors) should have been countermarked at the same time. If this really were the case, one would expect coins of Trajan to be heavily worn, which is not the case. Collection Automan.Automan

The obverse countermark appears to read ADR, Emperor Hadrian; however a nearly identical mark has been interpreted as DeltaAK, Trajan's title Dacius.1 commentswhitetd49

Obv. Laureate head of Trajan right. Countermark "ΔAK" in rectangular incuse.
Rev. Trajan in quadriga right
21 mm, 6.15 gms

BMC 3; SNG Cop 306. Countermark: Howgego 529.

This countermark always appears on the coins of Trajan and are placed at the end of the obverse legend. "ΔAK" is for the title Dacicus, a title bestowed on Trajan in the local year 55. This practice of countermarking a coin of the reigning emperor with a new title is confined to the reign of Trajan.Charles M
