Æ12 - Hadrian L Κ

Year 20 of Hadrian's reign in Egypt — the "L Κ" date marker — places this issue in a period when Alexandria's mint was producing an unusually diverse range of bronze fractions, many tied to the administrative and religious calendar Hadrian was actively reorganizing following his extended tour of Egypt in 130-131 AD. That visit, during which Antinous drowned in the Nile, left a measurable imprint on Alexandrian coinage for the remainder of the reign.

At 12mm, these fractional bronzes saw hard local use and survivors in any condition above heavily worn are genuinely scarce.
