| Reverse description | Harpocrates, the Egyptian child solar deity, depicted standing facing with head turned to the left. The god raises his right index finger to his lips in his traditional gesture of silence and mystery, while his left arm cradles a cornucopia symbolizing abundance and prosperity. The regnal date legend L ΙΗ (year 18) appears in the field, dating the issue to the eighteenth year of Hadrian's reign in the Egyptian calendar. The reverse type reflects the deliberate Alexandrian mint policy of integrating indigenous Egyptian religious iconography within the imperial coinage. |
