[QUOTE="Sallent, post: 2470327, member: 76194"]I was going to post this tomorrow, but given how much Turkey is on the news today, the timing seems right. This one is currently on its way to me, and officially coin #30 of my collection (not bad for 8 months). It's a provincial hemidrachm of of Emperor Hadrian. Very unusual to say the least. It also happens to be my first Hadrian. I was aiming for a denarius, but I think this is better. [ATTACH=full]519499[/ATTACH] Hadrian AR Hemidrachm. Cappadocia, Caesarea Mint I love the portrait of Hadrian. It is very different from his standardized Roman portraits, yet still recognizable as Hadrian. Feel free to share some of your Hadrians.[/QUOTE]
