Egypt. Alexandria. Hadrian, 117-138. Dichalkon. (Bronze, 14.33 mm, 1.42 g). Dated RY 14 = AD 129/130. Laureate bust. Rev. Headdress of Isis with two ears; L IA (date) across fields. Dattari 1918. Geissen 1019. RPC III 5764.24 (this specimen illustrated). Emmett 1189. Milne 1293. Extremely Fine. Ex CNG. Ex Paul-Francis Jacquier, Sale 20, Autumn 1997, lot 442. Here we have a tiny and rare dichalkon of Hadrian of such splendour that it has the privilege of being illustrated in the reference plates of RPC III. And rightly so for the miniature portrait of Hadrian on the obverse, anepigraphic, is an iconographic masterpiece of classical coin engraving enhanced by the exceptional preservation of this coin.
