                                Description

     This piece was minted in 137 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 head of Hadrian facing right, with legends
     HADRIANVS.AVG.COS.III.P.P. The reverse features Tellus standing
     left, wearing tunic to knees, holding plough and rake, with two
     ears of corn in the ground. The legends read TELLVS.STABIL. This
     type was minted to mark the twentieth anniversary of the reign of
     Hadrian, and symbolizes the continuity and stability of his
     golden age. Coin shows light tan patina and an obverse scratch,
     but otherwise grades a nice VF, with clear to bold devices and
     legends all around, and a nice portrait. A pleasing example of
     this scarcer historical type, catalouged as RSC-1425. All coins
     guaranteed genuine without limitations. 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. Member ANA, PAN. For more ancients,
