Here are my last coins I have gotten for the rest of this year. Big thanks to @randygeki for the Constantine I & Johann Kreuzer, we usually exchange every year. Picked up this Hadrian Tetradrachm fairly cheap since it several blooms of bronze disease, but the coin also seemed a bit scarce to rare as I couldn't find any examples of this YEAR online, other than on RPC Online. If anyone else has info, it would be a big help. Hadrian (117 - 138 A.D.) Egypt, Alexandria Billon Tetradrachm O: ΑΥΤ ΚΑΙ ΤΡΑΙ - ΑΔΡΙΑ СƐΒ, laureate head of Hadrian, r., drapery on l. shoulder; to r crescent.

Those are great coins to finish out the year, @Mat! If there was bronze disease on the Hadrian, I don't see any remains. Nice work!
Very nice coins @Mat to close out the year. My favorite, despite not collecting them, is the Hadrian tet. The reverse is really nice, I love Nilus and the crocodile.
