    That's a real beauty @galba68. I've taken the liberty to crop out the background:

    I really like the so called traveling coins of Hadrian. And your friends find is really pretty. I would like to add a Hispania coin one day to my collection. In time I hopefully will!

    Here's my latest addition to the travel-family, a GERMANIA denarius. The reverse is a bit off, but i nevertheless like it a lot. In real the reverse picture of Germania is quite sharp.
