| Beschrijving keerzijde | The sacred Apis bull stands to right in a dignified pose, a crescent moon visible on its flank and a solar disc flanked by the uraeus placed between its horns, symbolising its divine solar and lunar attributes. An altar is depicted before the bull in the left field. The date regnal formula L ΙΗ (Year 18) appears in the field, corresponding to the eighteenth year of Hadrian's reign. The composition reflects the distinctly Egyptianising religious iconography characteristic of Alexandrian provincial coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Year 18 of Hadrian's reign — rendered as L ΙΗ in the Alexandrian regnal dating system — fell during his second extended visit to Egypt, which began in 130 AD and included the infamous drowning of his companion Antinous in the Nile. The Alexandria mint, operating under Roman authority but retaining its own dating conventions and Greek-language output, ramped up production across multiple types during these years, likely in direct response to Hadrian's physical presence in the province.
Bronze fractions from this mint circulate frequently in worn grades; the alloy composition and flan preparation varied enough that weight discrepancies within a single type are unremarkable.
