@Okidoki , you are assembling a wonderful group of provincials!

 

I've 2 Hadrians to add. While Hadrian isn't by any means my fave on the emperors list this thread and and older one from TIF, I've noticed he has some desirable coins.

One, the type has been posted already but its a recent addition. I almost turned away from it because the obverse seems to have had some issues but in hand I am quite pleased with it.


EGYPT, Alexandria. Hadrian. AD 117-138. BI Tetradrachm (23.8mm, 12.60 g, 12h). Dated RY 17 (AD 132/133). Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust right / Nilus reclining left on crocodile, holding cornucopia and reed; L IZ (date) above. Köln 1064; Dattari (Savio) 1434 var. (obv. legend); K&G 32.534; RPC III 5822; Emmett 876.17. VF, toned, some porosity.

The other was a fairly recent JA win, (JA's photo). Again in hand its pleasing to the eye and I doubt my photo skills could bring it out any better, but I will try when I can. I'm not sure who I had to out bid to get this one but know it's in a good place


JUDAEA, Tiberias. Hadrian. AD 117-138
Æ22, 9.18 g, 12h; Dated CY 101 (AD 119/20).
Obv.: AYT TPA AΔPIANW KAIC CEB; Laureate head right, with slight drapery.

I love it and was the underbidder. Lost my only other target too.

Admittedly, I wanted it in part because the reverse looks like a wooden roller coster.

Have been following this thread but haven't posted any coins. I do have this one, which is not a "true" provincial of Hadrian but rather a pseudo-autonomous type issued at the time of his reign. It's also from a town which is named after him. Not a great example (to say the least) but it doesn't show up very often.
