kc's sestertii

Mazette! Tu as une sacrée collection Et chaque jour, tu vas nous poster une nouvelle merveille comme celle-ci?

Je vous remercie, amis!


The following coin was a musthave for me though it is not a Sesterce, because of the detailed reverse. I bought it on ebay france from member "taita":


Hadrian As
Obv. HADRIANVS AVGVSTVS, laureate bust right with drapery on left shoulder
Rev. COS III P P, Hadrian on horse prancing right, holding spear in rest in right hand
Mint: Rome, 132-134 AD.

27mm 11.65g

RIC 717 var. - not listed with this bust type

Superbe

Beau revers en effet !

My collection is very small but it contains some hard to find emperors:


Pertinax Sestertius
Obv. IMP CAES P HELV PERTINAX AVG, laureate head right
Rev. PROVIDENTIAE DEORVM COS II S C, Providentia standing left, raising right hand to a large star in upper left field and resting left hand by breast
Mint: Rome, 193 AD.

RIC 22


I love the portrait, the reverse is bääää...

l'Hadrianus est exceptionel, un magnifique revers.

Superbe variante d'Hadrien, bravo bel achat

The last coin for today should be a Postumus Sesterce:


Postumus Sestertius
Vs. IMP C M CASS LAT POSTVMVS PF AVG, radiate and cuirassed bust right
Rv. FIDES MILITVM, Fides standing left, holding two standards
Mint: Lugdunum

31mm 17.40g
