Beschrijving voorzijde Laureate head of Hadrian (attributed with some uncertainty) facing right, rendered in low relief characteristic of the Alexandrian provincial mint. The portrait displays the emperor's characteristic short beard and laureate wreath, typical of his coinage struck in Egypt. The flan is small and irregular, with the bust filling most of the available field. No surrounding legend is present, consistent with the minimalist style of small Alexandrian bronze issues of this reign.

Aanvullende informatie

Year 11 of Hadrian's reign corresponds to a period when the emperor was almost certainly in Egypt himself — his famous visit to Alexandria occurred in 130 AD, but administrative and ceremonial coinage from the nome system was already being recalibrated in anticipation of increased imperial attention to the province. The Alexandrian bronze series of this regnal year is notably inconsistent in flan quality, a product of local foundry practice rather than any central mint directive.
