Obv:
Hadrian-Denarius

Rev:
Hadrian-Denarius

3.52 g
17.78 mm

I believe this guy is the following:

Hadrian Denarius RIC 121
IMP CAESAR TRAIAN HADRIANVS AVG
Laureate bust right, drapery on left shoulder
P M TR P COS III
FELIC|AVG across field
Felicitas standing left, holding caduceus and double cornucopiae

Does that look right?

A very nice coin--both the portrait and reverse are excellent!
That's an interesting placement of the legends on the rev too.

You don't often see part of the legend across the diameter like that. Interesting.

I don't know enough to pick the mint from the style.
Some denarii have a head effigy that fills the whole of the obverse.
Some, (like this one), have a bust, where the head is of a more angular style.

Perhaps someone else may wish to comment on this.

It is a very nice coin indeed!

The cuprite deposits are not quite as pronounced under normal lighting conditions and the details look even better. I think a scanner was used to take this picture. I tried taking pictures myself but they didn't come out as well.
