Sestertius of Hadrian with Neptune

SOLD

Although this coin has been praised many times, it has tired me out. On the one hand, it has nice details and Neptune himself looks very decent here. Another advantage is its weight. That’s almost a troy ounce of orichalcum! But at the same time, this patina damage has been bothering me from the beginning, and finally, to free myself from these thoughts, I decided to sell this coin. especially since it was no longer the heaviest in my collection. I hope I will manage to get an even better Neptune someday.
