| Reversbeschreibung | The Dioscuri, Castor and Pollux, depicted clothed and standing facing one another in the field, each holding a spear in the outer hand and a parazonium (short sword) at the side. Between the two figures, a crescent symbol occupies the central ground, referencing the astral associations of the divine twins. The date regnal legend L ΙΗ appears in the field, denoting the eighteenth year of Hadrian's reign in the Alexandrian dating system. The composition reflects the syncretic religious iconography characteristic of Roman provincial coinage from Alexandria. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Year 18 of Hadrian's reign coincided with the emperor's extended tour of Egypt, which he visited in 130–131 AD — a journey that ended with the drowning of his companion Antinous in the Nile and the founding of the city of Antinoöpolis in his memory. The Alexandrian mint was acutely responsive to imperial visits, and the coinage of regnal years 14 through 17 reflects that proximity directly in its types.
By year 18, Hadrian had returned to Rome, but the Alexandrian mint continued issuing an unusually diverse range of bronze denominations. The L ΙΗ date formula is the standard Egyptian regnal notation, counting from Hadrian's accession in 117 AD.
