                                Description

     This piece was minted 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, with drapery on far shoulder, and legends
     HADRIANVS.AVGVSTVS. The reverse type features Spes advancing
     left, holding flower and raising the hem of her skirt. The
     legends read COS.III. Coin shows a reverse scratch at the
     midpoint of the figure of Spes, but otherwise grades F+, with
     clear devices and legends where struck up. A very decent example
     of the type, catalouged as RSC-390. Buyer pays postage/insurance,
     coin shipped on clearance of funds. PA residents please add
     appropriate sales tax. Visa/MC now accepted for purchases over
     $20. For more ancients, please visit our WWW site at
