| Beschrijving keerzijde | Nike, the personification of victory, seated left upon a large round shield, holding a wreath in her extended right hand and a palm branch in her left. The figure is rendered in flowing drapery in the Hellenistic tradition characteristic of Alexandrian coinage. The field carries the regnal date L ΙΖ (Year 17), corresponding to the seventeenth year of Hadrian's reign in the Alexandrian calendar (132–133 AD). |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Year 17 of Hadrian's reign coincided with his second extended visit to Egypt, during which he was deeply engaged with the intellectual life of Alexandria and mourning the recent death of Antinous in the Nile — an event that occurred in late 130 AD and triggered an empire-wide deification cult. Alexandrian bronzes of this regnal year carry unusual cultural weight precisely because the emperor himself was present in the province so recently before their striking.
The Alexandrian mint operated on Egypt's distinct regnal dating system, independent of the standard Roman calendar, which is why L ΙΖ appears rather than a consular date.
