Hey all! I haven't been on in awhile, but I was trying to ID this Hadrian Denarius and I came up empty. Well, not totally empty, I found similar ones... https://www.acsearch.info/search.ht...s=1&thesaurus=1&order=0¤cy=usd&company= However, I cannot find one with an 11-point star. If anyone has any information on this, I would appreciate it. Thanks!
It seems that there are several variations with seven and eight rays being common. Mine shows the star escaping from the crescent while most dies show it centered. Every die is a separate, hand work so it would be possible to find anything. Do note the ones with five rays are fakes.
Seems like stars are usually better executed than the one on the OP. Also, in the reverse chip it looks like there is some copper or iron mixed in with the silver. Might the OP be unofficial?
