Reverse description An erect Uraeus serpent faces left, crowned with a solar disc flanked by cow horns, a quintessential Egyptian religious motif associated with divine kingship and solar worship. The serpent's body rises from the lower field in a coiled posture, its head surmounted by the Hathor or Isis crown. The regnal date legend appears in the field, referencing the fourteenth year of Hadrian's reign in the Egyptian calendar. The reverse design reflects the deliberate fusion of Roman imperial and Egyptian religious iconography characteristic of Alexandrian provincial coinage.
