Hadrianus (117-138 AD). Aureus (20-21 mm, 6.92 g), Rome, c. 125-127 AD.
Obv. HADRIANVS AVGVSTVS, Draped and cuirassed bust to right, seen from behind.
Rev. COS III, Hadrian riding horse prancing right, raising right hand.
RIC 784 (R2); Strack 146.
Very rare. Struck on a broad flan and almost very fine.
All aurei of Hadrian from the period 125-128 AD have the obverse legend HADRIANVS AVGVSTVS with the emperor's name starting to the left of the bust. Only a small issue has this formula reversed, apparently struck from only one obverse die.
