                                Description

     This piece is an AE Chalkon, or 1/8 obol. It measures 11 mm in
     diameter, and was minted for Roman Egypt between 125 and 126 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 I before. The reverse type features an upright
     cornucopiae, with regnal year L Delta E, denoting this piece as
     being minted in Year 10 of the reign of Hadrian. Coin shows a
     little patina, but otherwise grades a nice VF for the type, with
     clear devices and date. A very nice example of this scarce
     denomination of Hadrian, this piece is catalouged as D-1913bis.
     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,
