Spain 2017 Numismatics 2017 - Aureus of Hadrian and Denarius of Traja




Issue date 16 November 2017

Coreos Spain has issued an odd shaped stamp featuring 2 coins -  the Golden Aureus of Hadrian and the Silver Denarius of Trajan to commemorate the 1900th anniversary of the death of Trajan and succession by the Emperor Hadrian.

Trajan is considered as the most important Emperor of the Roman Empire. His death occurred when returning from a campaign in Mesopotamia. He was succeeded by Adriano, also born in Hispania but educated in Rome by Trajan, whom he accompanied in numerous military campaigns. 

In the background of the stamp, the Amphitheater of the Roman city of Italica is seen.
