Hadrian and Augustus, AR Cistophorus, (10.48g) IMP CAESAR AVGVSTVS 
Bare headed and beardless head of Augustus right, with 
characteristics of Hadrian. / HADRIANVS AVG P P REN Hadrian standing 
left, holding two ears of corn. RSC II 1; RIC (Hadrian) 532; BMC 
(Hadrian) 1094. Fine, overstruck. The obverse portrait is listed in 
the reference books as Augustus. Some dies show a strong 
Hadrianization of the portrait of Augustus. Under the reign of Nerva, 
Divus Augustus often looks like Nerva. Very interesting.
