All Hadrian provincials coins

Very nice!

Oki, in general do you prefer Hadrian's provincials or his imperials? I gravitate towards provincials for all emperors.

hiya Tif, indeed there is more types and styles in provincials, and less "civilised" from Roma,

foto below was 1e

 

Definitely a great upgrade!

 

Better than what?

 

If I understood correctly, the last coin on p. 23 was purchased as an upgrade of the first coin on p. 24.

New (p. 23):


Old (p. 24)


Oki, please correct me if I misunderstood

 

If so, they are both great.

 

yes TIF,

is see now reverse is different die
