Coloniae Gemella Ivlia Hadriana Pariana.
(Twin founded colony of Parium initially named after Julius Caesars daughter Julia
later further expanded by Hadrian). The twin refers to the nearby colony of Lampsacos whose coins bore the legend CGIL.
These are professional photos not my meager efforts, the coin is much darker in hand.
SNG Bn 1494.
