<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ken Dorney, post: 2644608, member: 76086&quot;]Yep.&nbsp; From my old collection website:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]584050[/ATTACH] </p><p><b>Anonymous, attributed to the reign of Hadrian, 117 - 138 AD</b></p><p>Æ Quadrans, 14mm, 2.4 grams</p><p>Obverse:&nbsp; Bust of Mercury right wearing winged petasus.</p><p>Reverse:&nbsp; S C, Winged caduceus.</p><p><br /></p><p>Reference:</p><p>RIC31</p><p><br /></p><p>Notes:</p><p>An enigmatic series of coin or tokens, the exact purpose of their issue is uncertain though most likely tied to either a specific event, such as games, or an issue intended for specific local usage.&nbsp; The most interesting aspect of these coins, as evidenced on this example, is the uncanny resemblance of certain emperors on the portraits of the deities.&nbsp; In this case we see Hadrian being depicted as Mercury.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
