| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Hadrian facing right, rendered in three-quarter view from the rear, with the paludamentum visible over the left shoulder and military cuirass across the chest. The legend is disposed around the periphery in Greek characters, with a dotted border encircling the entire design. The portrait exhibits the characteristic Hadrianic short curled beard and laureate wreath, consistent with the Alexandrian mint's provincial coinage style of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Year 12 of Hadrian's reign corresponds to his second visit to Egypt, which began in late 130 AD — but this piece, dated to his regnal year 12 (127–128), precedes that famous tour. Alexandria's civic mint operated on a regnal calendar tied to the Egyptian administrative year, which is why Alexandrian bronzes carry explicit year notations that provincial issues elsewhere rarely bother with. The ΔΩΔΕΚ abbreviation marks this as year twelve precisely.
Hadrian's Egyptian coinage is unusually diverse in type, reflecting his sustained personal interest in Egyptian religion and antiquity — a curiosity that would culminate in his 130 AD journey up the Nile.
