| Reverse description | Standing figure of Chuit-Hathor (a syncretized Egyptian deity) depicted facing left, wearing the double crown (pschent) of Upper and Lower Egypt. The goddess holds a hawk in her raised right hand, while her left arm is lowered at her side. The design reflects the distinctly Egyptianizing iconography characteristic of Alexandrian provincial bronze coinage, blending Egyptian religious imagery with Roman numismatic conventions. The dating formula and ethnic legend appear in the field. |

| Additional information |
Athribis was a nome in Lower Egypt whose coinage under Hadrian followed the Alexandrian prefectural system, with the regnal year indicator — L ΙΑ marking year 11, or 126/127 AD — serving as the primary dating mechanism rather than any consular or tribunician notation. Hadrian visited Egypt in 130 AD, a trip that left a documented administrative imprint on provincial bronze output, though nome coinage had been running continuously through his reign regardless.
