Hello again,

Another one that I am trying to identify.
Could you tell me if it is fake, what is it so obvious to you and unclear to me ? I did try but still not able to tell the difference.
If that kind of questions bothers you, don't hesitate to tell me

This is supposed to be a denarius of the emperor Hadrian, but the coin just doesn't look right to me. It could just be the picture but the legends look odd especially the III on the reverse. Where did you buy this coin?

Its legends are not inkeeping with the style, but this cannot have us rule it out as real. The fabric (metal) looks a bit off - this kind of toning is often seen on fakes (this ones done nicely though). Adrian's face is also a bit...strange.

And those Is arent Is. They dont let that fly in real ancient cionage.
