| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Hadrian facing right, seen from the rear, with the paludamentum visible over the left shoulder. The effigy is rendered in the typical Alexandrian provincial style, with bold high relief characteristic of the local mint's output. The Greek legend surrounds the bust, divided on either side of the field, identifying the emperor by his full imperial titulature. The flan shows slight irregularity at the edges, consistent with hand-struck provincial coinage of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Year 18 of Hadrian's reign fell during his second extended visit to Egypt, which began in 130 AD and included the notorious episode on the Nile in which his favorite Antinous drowned — an event that prompted Hadrian to found the city of Antinoöpolis and initiate a cult deification that spread across the eastern empire. Alexandrian bronzes of this regnal year were struck against that charged backdrop, with the imperial mint operating under unusually direct proximity to the emperor himself.
The L ΙΗ dating formula — the Greek regnal year notation standard to Alexandrian coinage — places this piece in 133/134 CE by the Egyptian calendar reckoning from Hadrian's accession.
