[QUOTE="Roman Collector, post: 3535888, member: 75937"]This Hadrian fourée denarius circulated for quite a while. Its fourée nature is only apparent because the plating has bubbled up in various places and cracked on the obverse and reverse. It's a bit underweight, too, of course. [ATTACH=full]939862[/ATTACH] Hadrian, AD 117-138. Roman fourée denarius, 2.98 g, 17.7 mm, 7 h. Rome mint copy, ca. AD 138. Obv: HADRIANVS AVG COS III P P, laureate head, right. Rev: AEGYPTOS, Egypt reclining left, holding sistrum and leaning on basket, around which a snake coils. Ibis on left, facing right. Refs: RIC 296, BMCRE 801-804, RCV 3456, Strack 294.
