Hi, I found this one in an uncleaned lot that I bought. I'm really interested in the history of the coin and appreciate any help I can get.

I think the obverse could be IMP CAESAR TRAIAN HADRIANVS AVG, and the for the reverse all I can tell is COS lll

Thank you for the fast reply. I took another look at the coin and it looks like "hadrianvsavg". Do you know what the O S III on the reverse means?

Consul, a high Roman office, 3 in Roman numerals, meaning he had held the office of consul three times.

Can't make out the reverse portrait, but COS III would put it from 119-122.
Obv. legend per RIC for all of the COS III, Rome Mint is IMP CAESAR TRIAN HADRIANVS AVG

Thank you everyone. I believe I found it now with all the information you gave me. I think it's RIC 90.
