                                Description

     This piece was minted in 117 AD, during the reign of Hadrian, who
     ruled from 117-138 AD. Hadrian is famed as the emperor who built
     Hadrian's Wall, the massive fortification erected across the
     northernmost British frontier of the empire to defend against
     marauding Scots and Picts. He is also known for his extensive
     travels throughout the empire. The obverse of this type depicts
     the laureate bust of Hadrian facing right, drapery on far
     shoulder, with legends IMP.CAES.TRAIAN.HADRIANO.AVG.DIVI.TRA. The
     reverse features Pietas standing left, raising right hand, with
     legend PIETAS across, and PARTH.F.DIVI.NER.NEP.P.M.TR.P.COS. Coin
     grades a nice VF, with clear to bold devices, most legends
     visible, and an attractive portrait of Hadrian. A pleasing
     example of this first year type of Hadrian, catalouged as
     RSC-1023b. All coins guaranteed genuine without limitations.
     Buyer pays postage/insurance, coin shipped on clearance of funds.
