| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Hadrian facing right, depicted from the rear, with the paludamentum visible over the left shoulder and lorica segmentata details rendered in relief. The effigy displays the characteristic short curled beard and laureate wreath associated with Hadrian's portraiture from the Alexandrian mint. A Greek legend encircles the bust, divided on either side of the field. The overall style reflects the provincial Alexandrian engraving tradition, combining Roman imperial iconography with local artistic conventions. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Year 19 of Hadrian's reign in Egypt, rendered here as ΕΝΝΕΑΚ·Δ — the Alexandrian regnal dating system that counted from his accession in 117 AD. Hadrian visited Egypt personally in 130 AD, a tour that ended with the drowning of his companion Antinous in the Nile and the subsequent founding of Antinoöpolis, both events leaving a measurable stamp on provincial coinage of the following years.
Alexandrian bronzes of this period were struck to a localized standard entirely separate from the imperial Roman system, functioning within Egypt's closed currency economy where Roman denarii were officially exchanged upon entry and could not circulate freely.
