Two Bronze Drachms of Hadrian

Two silver drachms of Hadrian. The drachm on the left shows Zeus Ammon on a plinth, wearing a ram's horn (c. 134-135 CE) while the one on the right shows busts of Serapis and Isis facing each other, with a small statue of Harpocrates and an eagle (c. 133-134 CE). (The British Museum, London).
