Sometimes, instead of one or two representing the year, it is abbreviated or spelled out entirely. In this case, ΔΕ is an an abbreviation of ΔEKATOY.

I had forgotten this recently and in a PM to Okidoki insisted that a particular coin was unlisted, speculating that the delta epsilon meant year 9 (4 + 5)

 

thanks @Okidoki and @TIF

 

Dear coin friends,

a new type for Hadrian THRACE, Perinthus

Reference.
RPC 3, 712A; Pudill (GN 2015/77)

Obv. ΑΥΤΟ ΤΡΑΙΑΝΟС ΑΔΡΙΑΝΟС ΚΑΙСΑΡ СΕΒ ΓΕΡ
Laureate bust right, drapery on left shoulder.

Delta epsilon was very common for 9 from Antioch but Alexandria dodged using the unlucky number 9 by writing out the name of the number. Did anyone use delta epsilon other than Antioch?

New Hadrian for me.

I like the nice even wear on it. Feels good in hand.

 

Great additions, Eric, especially the BITHYNIA.

Nice, doucet. Agree, has an attractive wear to it.
