    Hadrian, 117-138
    Quadrans (?) may be a semis, but listed as as a quadrans
    Obverse: HADRIANVS AVGVSTVS PP
    Reverse: COS III, legionary standards with Aquila in the middle, S-C flanking standards (the right standard has a wreath on top. I have no clue what the two blobs atop the left standard are!)

    This is a really nice example of this coin.

    Collecting Quadrantes is super underrated and really fun!
