xoduspbc Valued Member United States 201 Posts	Posted 04/18/2018 2:18 pm My guesses: Hadrian and it says Annonia across the reverse, with SC and the right legend says COS II.. I can't figure out the rest. Trying to see where it came from. It is a large coin, I can give MM if needed. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

jskirwin Pillar of the Community United States 616 Posts	Posted 04/18/2018 2:54 pm Could that be Aelius Caesar AE Sestertius? Sear 3981? http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/sear5/s3981.html Report this Post to the Staff
Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 04/18/2018 2:59 pm Aelius Caesar. Quite a find! Will need some TLC for the possible bronze disease around the portrait, however. Report this Post to the Staff
xoduspbc Valued Member United States 201 Posts	Posted 04/18/2018 3:53 pm What is TLC? Is that a chemical that kills bronze disease? Can you tell me how to apply it and purchase it please. Report this Post to the Staff

jskirwin Pillar of the Community United States 616 Posts	Posted 04/18/2018 4:48 pm Here's a write up on Aelius. He's easy to forget because he died before Hadrian did. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucius_Aelius A quick check on Vcoins finds coins in similar condition for sale around $100 or so. Not sure what cleaning the bronze disease will reveal though - so don't quote me on that. Still, a rare find. Congratulations!

Kushanshah Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 04/18/2018 10:35 pm It seems to be this "Pannonia" type of Aelius, RIC II, 1071 (Hadrian). https://cNGCoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=139156 Edited by Kushanshah 04/18/2018 10:40 pm Report this Post to the Staff
