| Reverse description | A sphinx recumbent to the right, depicted in the classic Egyptian manner with a human head and lion's body, resting upon a ground line. The regnal year legend appears in the field, referencing the tenth year of Hadrian's reign. The sphinx, an iconic symbol of Egyptian antiquity, was a favored reverse type on Alexandrian provincial bronzes, reflecting the blending of Greco-Roman and Egyptian iconographic traditions. |
