    Wow, great style, excellent portrait, and the weight is even in the right ball park. Hard to tell from the image: has the plating come off somewhere?

    Wow, that's a very sweet fourrée example, Oki ... oh, and it's a Hadrian (imagine that, eh?)

    ;)

    => congrats, my coin-friend ... it is very cool

    Ummm, I may as well play my only ace and toss-in my two fourrées, eh?

    ... thanks for presenting the opportunity ...

    => again, that's a very cool Hadrian fourrée (I don't recall you purposely buying any other fourrées? ... but my memory kinda sucks)

    Now this is a fouree I could keep in my collection. Love the style for sure.

    The style is not at all 'normal' but very well done. I don't have a normal Hadrian fourree but have the fourree brockage (one of my favorites), one completely silverless and a Sabina.

    I love the portrait style of your new coin, Oki! He has such a haughty tilt to his head. It seems as if he's looking at the viewer out of the corner of his eye.

    Carthago Does this look infected to you?

    As what others have said, Oki, really pleasing style on that fourree. Congrats.
