| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate head of Emperor Hadrian facing right, with slight drapery visible on the left shoulder, rendered in the typical provincial style of Alexandrian bronze coinage. The portrait displays the characteristic short curly beard and laurel wreath associated with Hadrian's numismatic effigy. The flan is irregularly shaped, consistent with hand-struck provincial issues of the period. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Standing hawk facing right, surmounted by the pschent — the double crown of Upper and Lower Egypt — identifying the deity as a form of Horus, the falcon god revered in the Tanite nome. The figure is rendered in the Egyptianizing style characteristic of Alexandrian nome coinage. Greek legends in the field identify the issuing nome and regnal year. A baseline is visible beneath the figure. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Alexandria's municipal bronze issues under Hadrian are dated by regnal year, and "L ΙΑ" places this piece in year 11 of his reign — 126/127 AD — a period when Hadrian was actually present in Egypt, having arrived in 130 AD being his more famous visit, though earlier administrative activity shaped local coinage policy throughout the decade. The ΤΑΝΙ reference points to Tanis, the ancient Delta city, situating this within Egypt's nome coinage system rather than standard Alexandrian civic output.
