The reverse of the Hadrian coin depicts Jupiter, hurling thunderbolt with right hand and holding scepter in left, in quadriga right driven by Victory; ROMA incuse on raised tablet in exergue. The legend around the obverse is one used on Hadrian coins, but whether or not this is a real coin, I have no idea.

I had some coin shop people (They sell a lot of Roman coins) look at it and they didn't seem to think it was a fake. They thought it was a medal. My info is that it was originally found in northern Syria. Same goes for the coin with the temple. The one with the star is supposedly from Petra, Jordan.

There seem to be some small differences between mine and the one in the link but that's probably because of the condition of mine. I'm guessing that the one on auction is a reproduction/fake. Or is it? They sure look the same.
Oh and thanks a lot for finding it.

I think I'm gonna figure that mine is a fake too. Any idea about the other ones?
