| Obverse lettering | ΑΥ(Τ) Κ (Τ ΑΙ?) (ΑΔΡ) ΑΝΤωΝΙΝΟϹ ϹΕΒ ΕΥ(Ϲ) (Translation: Emperor Caesar Titus Aelius Hadrian Antoninus Augustus Pius) |
| Reverse description | Nilus, the personification of the Nile river, depicted seated to the right upon rocky ground, holding a cornucopia from which a small Genius figure emerges bearing a wreath, and a reed stalk. A crocodile, emblematic of the Nile, climbs upward along the rocks beside the deity. This reverse type is a hallmark of Alexandrian provincial coinage, symbolizing the fertility and abundance conferred by the annual Nile inundation. The date legend L ΚΑ appears in the field, denoting regnal year 21 of Antoninus Pius. |
