    Why I like this coin.

    • This was one of my first three Ancient Roman coins, given to me by Ardatirion. These got me started into ancients. This one is the only one of the three I have left.
    • I am fascinated with this era of History, and Hadrian plays a big role in it.
    • The coin is worn down, but is awesome.

    This for me is what coin/banknote/medal/stamp collecting is realy about, I love the history that is attached to them, ok some I get because they look nice but for the most part it is the learning :D Great post :thumb:
