Adjunto explicación que me ha venido junto al Denario de la casa de subastas/tienda donde la he comprado (Siento que esté en inglés):
HADRIAN. AD 117-138 . AR denarius. EX AMERICAN NUMISMATIC SOCIETY COLLECTION (see notes about this coin).
AR denarius (17mm, 2.69g). Rome mint. Struck AD 134-138.
HADRIANVS AVG COS III P P. Laureate head right / HISPANIA. Hispania, holding branch, reclining left, rabbit left at left. RIC II 305. EX ANS Collection. EX Lhotka Collection. VF toned.
In December 2008, the ANS received a bequest from an esteemed member, Dr. John Francis Lhotka, who had left to the Society his collection of Ancient Greek, Roman Republican, Roman Imperial, Medieval and Modern coins in bronze, silver and gold (over 1,947 pieces). Born in Butte, Montana, in 1921, Lhotka joined the U.S. Army Chemical Warfare Service, after working briefly as a chemist. He served as an officer from 1942 through World War II. In 1951, Dr. Lhotka became a devoted member of the ANS, and in 1970 he was elected a Life Fellow. He established a fund in 1960 to purchase coins for the ANS collections, primarily in the fields of Bohemia, the Slavic Balkans and Eastern Europe, as well as the Byzantine and Ottoman Empires in Europe. In 1961, he also provided funds for the Society’s library purchases of numismatic publications on similar topics. Due to his significant contributions to the ANS, the Society named Dr. Lhotka a Patron in 1962. He was known as a collector and author of several popular works, including Medieval European coinage, Introduction to East Roman (Byzantine) coinage, and Introduction to medieval bracteates. His bequest to the ANS represents a significant addition to the numismatic holdings.
During 2009-2010 the ANS staff and volunteers have been regularly working to identify die duplicates in the cabinet. This incredibly time consuming task, which necessitates careful study of die states and die varieties, revealed an interesting group of over 200 duplicate items from the Lhotka collection. Among these are a number of Roman silver and bronze coins which ANS has consigned for sale to John Jencek.
We hope that these coins will bring as much pleasure to their new owners as they did to Dr. Lotka and will be well appreciated by scholars, students and collectors.
Un saludo.
Chucky
