As TIF said,

 

Oki, As always, I LOVE your posts---- you have a phenomenal array of coins of Hadrian....Is there ANY type you don't have???


Oh Yeah...Oooh, nice Pegasus

 

Aureus

 

nah i am sure

 

Love the reverse on it!

 

Excellent detail on that one Oki, release it from it's grave!

 

Wow Oki ... your dupondius has a way nicer-n-bigger flan than my example from page-1 (*sigh*)






=> congrats on a very sweet addition, my coin-friend!!

 

Awesome thread and coins.

 

Steve - Sorry, I mean Okidoki - Can you please tell me if the reverse of your coin (above) is 'incuse'?
If it is, isn't that unusual?

 

what is incuse on my coin?

 

When I look at the coin I see that the image of the horse is punched 'into' the flan whereas Hadrian's image rises above the flan. Is this correct or an optical illusion?
Hang on. Now I see it the other way.
Don't worry, it is my (aged) eyes playing tricks on me.
I got them in the first half of the last century.
