Comment
Britain was at the edge of the Roman Empire in the early 2nd century. Rome had invaded and colonialised England and much of Wales in a campaign starting in AD 43, but had never succeeded in gaining a foothold north, always held back by Pict and Caledonian tribes in what we now call Scotland.Emperor Hadrian visited Britain in AD 122 and this is when construction started. Hadrian is responsible for the building of the wall.

Interesting fact
The coin features an image of Emperor Hadrian, who was known for his love of Greek culture and his extensive travels throughout the Roman Empire. He is depicted on the coin with a laurel wreath, symbolizing his status as a Roman emperor. The coin's design also includes an image of Hadrian's Wall, a famous ancient Roman defensive wall that was built during his reign. The wall stretched across northern England and was used to protect the Roman Empire from invading barbarian tribes. The coin's bimetallic design, with a copper-nickel center and a nickel brass ring, adds an extra layer of uniqueness and collectibility to this already fascinating coin.
