| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of the Emperor Hadrian facing right, portrayed from a rear three-quarter perspective, a treatment characteristic of Alexandrian provincial coinage of this period. The effigy displays the emperor's distinctive beard and laureate wreath. The Greek legend encircles the bust, running along the rim of the coin. The portraiture reflects the refined Hellenistic artistic tradition of the Alexandrian mint, with visible drapery folds over the left shoulder. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Year 18 of Hadrian's reign (133–134 AD) fell during or just after his extended tour of Egypt, which he visited in 130–131 AD — a journey marked by the drowning of his companion Antinous in the Nile and the subsequent founding of Antinoöpolis in his memory. Alexandrian bronze issues of this regnal year were struck under Roman provincial authority but follow the dating conventions of the Egyptian calendar, with the L ΙΗ (year 18) formula a distinctly local practice borrowed from Ptolemaic tradition.
The Alexandria mint was among the most prolific provincial operations in the empire, producing a closed currency system that barred outside coinage from legal circulation within Egypt.
