Denarius of Hadrian

This is coin number three from the group sent in by Diane to be catalogued and valued (see last week for further details).

The coin is a denarius of Hadrian, whose dates are AD 117 to 138. On the obverse the legend reads IMP CAESAR TRAIANVS HADRIANVS AVG around the laureate and partly draped bust of the emperor.

On the reverse the standing figure of Aequitas (or Moneta) holds scales and a cornucopia and is accompanied by a legend reading P M TR P COS III. In volume II of David Sear’s Roman Coins and Their Values this type is listed as number 3520 and dated to 123 AD.

Valuation

This denarius has good surfaces and would grade VF so my price range would be £50-60.
