[QUOTE="cmezner, post: 3659022, member: 87809"]This drachm is very worn, corroded and has a crack. At the ANA convention last week it was in laying in a cheap box with a lot of other coins and I felt very sorry for this almost 2000 old year drachm of Hadrian. So I "rescued" it. Problem with attribution is that there is no readable legend on the obverse. On the reverse there are three letters, which I read as FRI. Can somebody confirm if this is an Africa drachm from Hadrian's travel series or should I just let it go and move on? :shy: 32 x 32 mm, 14.16 g; Rome(?) 134 - 138 AD Ob.: laureate head to right Rev: [..]FRI[..] Africa (?) reclining left [CENTER][ATTACH=full]983615[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]983616[/ATTACH][/CENTER][/QUOTE]
