| Reverse description | Tyche, the personification of Fortune, depicted reclining to the left upon a lectisternium — a cushioned ceremonial couch — with her body shown in a semi-recumbent posture. She holds a rudder in her extended hand, symbolizing governance and providence over the city of Alexandria. The regnal date legend L Β appears prominently in the upper field to the left of the figure, dating the issue to Year 2 of Hadrian's reign. The composition is framed by a dotted border, characteristic of Alexandrian bronze issues, and the reverse field shows the broad, flat fabric typical of this mint's production. |
