| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare-headed bust of Emperor Hadrian facing left, with finely rendered short hair and beard in the characteristic Hellenistic style favoured by the emperor. The effigy is depicted with a draped shoulder, consistent with Alexandrian provincial coinage of this period. A Greek imperial legend encircles the portrait within the field, identifying the emperor by his full titulature. The strike is broad and slightly irregular, typical of the Alexandrian mint's hammered production under the Antonine period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Regnal year 21 of Hadrian's reign fell during his final years, when the emperor was increasingly ill and consumed by the question of succession — he would disinherit and reportedly order the death of his first chosen heir, Lucius Ceionius Commodus, before ultimately settling on Antoninus Pius in 138. The Alexandrian mint, operating under Roman prefectural authority, continued its distinctive Egyptian calendar dating system regardless of imperial turmoil, making these provincial bronzes unusually precise chronological markers within an otherwise chaotic final reign period.
