| Additional information |
Year 21 of Hadrian's reign fell during his second extended stay in Egypt, a visit that left a durable mark on Alexandrian coinage. The city's mint produced an unusually diverse range of reverse types across regnal years 20 and 21, likely reflecting both imperial favor and the administrative energy surrounding Hadrian's personal interest in the province. He had famously witnessed the flooding of the Nile and participated in the cult of Serapis during his Egyptian tour of 130–131 AD, though the L ΚΑ dating places this piece six years after that visit.
