| Reverse description | Zeus reclines to the left upon the back of a spread-winged eagle perched atop a thunderbolt, the composition filling the coin's field in a bold, high-relief design characteristic of Alexandrian bronze coinage. The god is depicted semi-nude, his drapery gathered about his lower body, holding a patera in his extended right hand and a long sceptre in his left. The regnal date legend L ΙΗ, denoting year 18 of Hadrian's reign, is prominently placed in the upper field above the figure. The reverse fabric is broad and irregular, consistent with the hand-struck production of the Alexandrian mint. |
