Æ15 - Hadrian ΛΕΟΝΤ, L ΙΑ

Hadrian visited Egypt in 130 AD — one of the most consequential imperial tours of the province — and the Alexandrian mint responded with unusually prolific output across multiple regnal years. The "L ΙΑ" date formula marks this as struck in his eleventh regnal year, a dating convention unique to Alexandria among Roman provincial mints, derived from the Egyptian calendar system still in administrative use under Roman rule.
