Very nice Oki.

 

That's one of the types that sometimes gets called the "Star of Bethlehem" coin, and it's one of finest examples I've seen. Nice find!

However, the whole "Star of Bethlehem" business is just a ploy to capitalize on the high demand for Biblical coins, unless you're willing to accept the proposition that it took the Wise Men 130 years of wandering to find the creche.

 

thx, true words JA.

 

Wow, Oki => that may be my favourite Hadrian so far => very, very cool Ram, my friend (congrats on that barnyard winner!!)

 

Careful little brother.

 

mmmm, barnyard
