| Reverse description | A pomegranate depicted in the central field, shown in schematic form with a rounded body and prominent calyx at the top, consistent with Alexandrian iconographic convention. Below the fruit appears the regnal date legend L ΚΒ, denoting Year 22 of Hadrian's reign (137–138 AD). The pomegranate was a common reverse type on small Alexandrian bronze coins, symbolizing fertility and abundance. The inscription is clearly legible despite the irregular flan and worn surfaces. |
