Happy Thanksgiving to everybody, Here is my Hadrianus coin. IMP CAESAR TRAIAN HADRIANUS AVG head laur.r. PM TRP COS III Genius standing l., sacrificing out of patera over altar and holding cornucopiae. 3.19 gr, 18.45 mm, Denarius, slightly rough surface A.D.119 – 122, RIC II 88 p 351

@John Conduitt You are right, it is the tip of the cornucopia. The head and immediate surroundings show no signs of wear and are clearly visible. probably the die cutter added decoration? @shanxi I had also seen this one, but not very visible due to the presence of some other objects around it. Perhaps there are other decorations to be found at the ends of this type reverse? @Roman Collector hopefully traianus never saw this picture, or heads must have rolled

@DonnaML, Perhaps the die cutter had an eye defect or took Nerva's nose as an example?

while cataloging my Traianus coins I came across the following piece. It is a Dupondius with Abundatia seated on a chair, consisting of 2 cornuacopiae, holding a scepter. Next to her side is the head and neck of an animal, I suspect either: a donkey, a horse or a dog's head. Has anyone seen this before? RIC and Cohen make no mention of this. Thank you.
