背面描述	A sphinx, depicted as a winged creature with a human head and lion's body, is shown seated to the right upon a ground line, its raised forepaw resting upon a spoked wheel — an attribute symbolic of Fate or Fortune. The wings are rendered with fine feather detailing in rows of beaded pellets, showing accomplished engraving typical of Alexandrian coinage. The regnal year date appears in the exergue below the ground line.

附加信息	Year 21 of Hadrian's reign corresponded to 136/137 AD, a period when the emperor was already gravely ill and consumed with the succession crisis following the death of his first chosen heir, Lucius Aelius Caesar, who would himself die on New Year's Day 138. Alexandrian bronze coinage of this regnal year is relatively scarce compared to earlier years of his reign, likely reflecting disruptions in the civic mint's output during a politically unsettled period. The L ΚΑ date formula — the Egyptian regnal year rendered in Greek — is the primary chronological anchor for the entire Alexandrian series under the Principate.
