Description
Hadrian. AD 117-138. AR Denarius (17.5mm, 3.62 g, 6h). Rome mint. Struck circa AD 134-138. Laureate head right / Moneta standing left, holding scales and cornucopia. RIC II 256; RSC 966. Very light toning with luster. Choice EF. Struck from dies of fine style, with a wonderful portrait.
From the Style Collection. Ex Phil Peck Collection; CNG Inventory 734199 (December 2002); Lanz 112 (25 November 2002), lot 490.
Hadrian was a trend-setter in many ways, including his adoption of a full beard. Roman die engravers adapted quickly to his novel visage and produced some exceptional portraits in all metals, including this denarius, which artfully conveys his aloof, inscrutable personality.
Closing Date and Time: 20 November 2019 at 10:06:00 ET.
Winning bids are subject to a 20% buyer's fee for bids placed on this website, 22.50% for all others.
