    Hadrian Denarius Roma 119-25 AD Concordia with double cornucopiae

    Strack 61 var.; RIC II 118; BMCRE 260; RSC 255a.

    Obv. IMP CAESAR TRAIAN HADRIANVS AVG
    laureate bust right, slight drapery

    Rev . P M TR P COS III, CONCORD in exergue,
    Concordia seated left on throne, holding patera and resting arm on statuette of Spes on globe; double cornucopiae below throne.

    2.91 gr
    18 mm
    7h

    There are 3 variants regarding the details below the throne as far as i know.

    No cornucopiae
    One cornucopiae
    and this one with a double cornucopiae.
    also Spes standing on a globe is not very common, i found only one but none with double cornucopiae

    Great coin, love that portrait it reminds me of Constantine "looking to the heavens" on his coins.

    Hadrian certainly struck some exceptional denarii - yours is a great example of such. Congrats!
