The Dupondius or As coin featuring Hadrian (DACIA S C; Dacia) was issued during the Roman Empire (27 BC - 395 AD) and made of Bronze. One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman Emperor Hadrian wearing a distinctive crown, known as a "Dacia" crown, which was a symbol of his victory over the Dacian kingdom. This crown was unique to Hadrian and was not used by any other Roman emperor.
