I sure am a sucker for Alexandrian tetradrachms. The Trajan's have really been catching my eye lately there are a lot of really good quality ones out there for not that bad of a price.

I have always had a soft spot for the denarii of Hadrian. He seems to have worn almost as many different outfits as Probus.....

Next up I have a pair of early issue denarii.

The legends on these are very busy and if anyone cares to try and read them they are worth the effort.

Hadrian denarius
Obv:- IMP CAES TRAIAN HADRIANO AVG DIVI TRA, Laureate bust right with light drapery on far shoulder
Rev:- PARTH F DIVI NER NEP P M TR P COS / FORT RED, Fortuna seated left holding rudder and cornucopia
Rome Mint.A.D. 117. Group II.
Reference:- RIC 10, BMC 22-23

Rev:- PARTH F DIVI NER NEP P M TR P COS / IVSTITIA, Justitia seated left on throne holding in right hand and verticaal sceptre in left
Rome Mint. A.D. 117. Group II.
