Just two posts above, we had PIETAS AUGUS, now here's PAX AUGUS. Unfortunately, I was outbid on this one today. 2.76 g, 19 mm. Not in the new RIC.

The style is so wild on this it makes me wonder where the line would be between official and unofficial for these issues.

I would regard this coin as not official but an ancient counterfeit, until proof to the contrary can be shown.

Beautiful coin! I think I have a small correction: The legend seems to be HADRIANUS AUGUSTUS PP, the P's at the end, as often, sloppily engraved and looking like I's. This would make it a variant of RIC² 3068 (3068 has bust type D1, seen from front; yours has D2, seen from the side, which is unlisted in RIC²).

Congratulations from

Rupert

Is this an Eastern mint product?
I bought it but it is still in mail so I will use sellers pictures (I am impatient).
HispaniaRe instead of Hispaniae.
The weight of mine is if we trust seller 2.7g and of the Naumann die match 2,82 so rather low.


The style of this type appears to be more eastern, and the altered reverse legend (Hispaniare rather than Hispaniae) points toward an imitative mistake. Either way, it is very similar to the official Rome product, yet not an exact match.

Same dies sold as Eastern mint or contemporary imitation of Rome

i would suggest post it here https://www.forumancientcoins.com/board/index.php?board=9.0

I thought that this coin is authentic even if it might be a ancient  Eastern mint product or contemporary imitation.
I collect authentic coins too and I like the stlye and the sloppy letters of this one and it looked fine (fine = authentic) in pictures and the price was much lower than for the Naumann piece so I thought it would be a bargain, too.
But if there is evidence that this coin is fake I would be happy to know because I planned to put it to my authentic coins and I do not like to contaminate my authentic coins with fakes.

The spelling fault HISPANIARE is also mentioned in RIC (here OCRE)

http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.2_3(2).hdn.3151

unfortunately no picture


Another example was discussed  here:

https://www.forumancientcoins.com/board/index.php?topic=101891.0




and BTW: Your coin was previously  sold in hungary, october 2020

It's been quite a few silent months in this thread, but now I was lucky again to get the following coin:

Obv. IMP CAESAR TRAIAN H - ADRIANUS AUG
Laureate head right
Rev. COS - III
Libertas with pileus and sceptre
18.5 mm, 2.67 g, die axis 6 o'clock
Not in RIC (2990 with later legend HADRIANUS AUGUSTUS)
