Obverse: AYTO KAIC TPAI AΔPIANOC CЄBACT, Laureate head of Hadrian facing right.
Reverse: ЄT Δ, Nike advancing right, holding wreath in her right hand and palm frond in her left. (I think the reverse might be upside-down in the photos.)
Cappadocia, Caesarea-Eusebia (now Kayseri in modern Turkey). Roman provincial hemidrachm of Hadrian, Roman emperor (117-138 AD).
Silver, 14.61 mm, 1.7 g. Struck ca. 120-121 AD.
Ex-Biga Numismatics, Netherlands (formerly Alibaba Coins), 13 May 2020.
While reverse of this piece isn't terrific and it has some deposits, it has a pretty good portrait of Hadrian, and I thought it was interesting. Anytime I see interesting ancient silver with a decent portrait that is this inexpensive, I sit up and take notice- know what I mean?
