COMMEMORATIVE COTD
« on: April 27, 2011, 06:10:15 pm »
This is my latest addition to my Commemoratives gallery.  It is quite a rare coin and I was really pleased to get this one.

DIVUS HADRIAN. Commemorative AR Denarius of Rome. Struck A.D.139 under Antoninus Pius.
Obverse: DIVVS HADRIANVS AVG. Bare head of Hadrian facing right.
Reverse: CONSECRATIO. Eagle standing facing on globe, head turned left.
RIC II : 389b
