| Reverse description | A caduceus — the winged staff of Hermes entwined with two serpents — is depicted upright in the central field, flanked on either side by a tall ear of grain (wheat), symbolising the agricultural fertility of Egypt. The composition is bold and centrally placed on the flan, with the regnal date legend positioned below or around the devices. The reverse type is a well-attested emblematic pairing on Alexandrian bronze coinage, associating Hadrian's reign with commerce, prosperity, and the grain supply of the empire. |
