Hadrian - Roman Silver Denarius, 117-138 CE

"One of the most sought-after series of “star and crescent” coins was made during the reign of the Roman emperor Hadrian. Inspired by the eclipse of September 3, 118, whose path fell on the northern part of the Roman Empire, the series features a portrait of Hadrian on the obverse and a thin crescent Sun with one to seven “stars” on the reverse. This series of silver denarii was minted from 126 to 128 during the middle part of Hadrian’s reign."
