    From the photo, there doesn't appear to be enough detail on the reverse for a solid ID. Can you make out any of the letters in the obverse and reverse inscriptions? If so, do they appear to be Greek or Latin letters? If you can send us whatever letters that you can make out, such as "---AFG--X--CH--T" or whatever, someone here might be able to help.

    I'm not sure that's even Hadrian. It might be a female portrait (Artemis, Kore, etc) -- you can see the hair in a bun at the nape of the neck.

    It does look like a provincial Hadrian coin to me (I think the portrait is clear enough), but unfortunately the reverse is too corroded ...

    Not really enough detail to help. The sheer number of colonies and municipalities is staggering without a better image.
