Wow, great style, excellent portrait, and the weight is even in the right ball park. Hard to tell from the image: has the plating come off somewhere?
Wow, that's a very sweet fourrée example, Oki ... oh, and it's a Hadrian (imagine that, eh?) => congrats, my coin-friend ... it is very cool
Ummm, I may as well play my only ace and toss-in my two fourrées, eh? ... thanks for presenting the opportunity ... => again, that's a very cool Hadrian fourrée (I don't recall you purposely buying any other fourrées? ... but my memory kinda sucks)
The style is not at all 'normal' but very well done. I don't have a normal Hadrian fourree but have the fourree brockage (one of my favorites), one completely silverless and a Sabina.
I love the portrait style of your new coin, Oki! He has such a haughty tilt to his head. It seems as if he's looking at the viewer out of the corner of his eye.
