| Beschrijving keerzijde | Zeus enthroned facing left, clad in himation draped over the lower body, holding a long sceptre in his left hand and a thunderbolt in his extended right hand. An eagle stands to the left, facing right toward the deity, serving as Zeus's traditional divine attribute. The composition is characteristic of Alexandrian civic reverses honouring the Olympian pantheon, executed in a bold provincial style. The regnal date legend appears in the field to the right of the figure. |

Year 19 of Hadrian's reign, which this coin's regnal date records, fell during a period of acute sensitivity in Egypt — just a few years after the catastrophic Kitos War had depopulated much of the Jewish community in Alexandria and the surrounding chora. Hadrian visited Egypt in 130–131 AD, and Alexandrian bronze production in the years immediately following shows markedly elevated output, possibly reflecting civic restoration efforts and the emperor's personal interest in the province.
The ΕΝΝΕΑΚ·Δ dating formula — shorthand for year 19 — is specific to the Alexandrian regnal calendar, which reset with each emperor's accession rather than following the Roman consular year.
