| Obverse lettering | ΑΥΤ ΚΑΙ - ΤΡΑΙ ΑΔΡΙΑ ϹΕΒ (Translation: Emperor Caesar Trajan Hadrian Augustus) |
| Reverse description | The Agathodaemon serpent, a tutelary deity of Alexandria, depicted erect and rearing to the right, crowned with the double pschent crown of Upper and Lower Egypt. The serpent's coils enfold a caduceus and a stalk of grain, symbolising divine protection, commerce, and agricultural abundance. The date legend in Greek occupies the field, indicating regnal year ten of Hadrian's reign. The reverse typology is characteristic of Alexandrian civic coinage and reflects the syncretic religious identity of Roman Egypt. |
