Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 06/12/2012 11:23 am It's hard to be certain but I think it is RIC 570: Hadrian AE Dupondius. 119-122 AD. IMP CAESAR TRAIANVS HADRIANVS AVG..., radiate, bare-chested bust right, drapery on far shoulder / PONT MAX TR P COS III S-C, Annona standing left, altar and forepart of galley at sides, ANNONA AVG in ex.

Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 06/12/2012 11:29 am Now that I look at it closer, I'm not certain I see a Radiate bust, but rather a laureated bust. Do you have the means to weight and measure the coin? That will tell a lot as far as attribution goes. Report this Post to the Staff
Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 06/12/2012 11:31 am At that weight and measurement it is probably a Sestertius and possibly RIC 549 Report this Post to the Staff
ancientcoinguy Pillar of the Community United States 842 Posts	Posted 06/12/2012 12:05 pm I can make out the obverse legend. It says HADRIANVS AVGVSTVS. Hope this helps. Report this Post to the Staff
