| Beschrijving keerzijde | A large eagle stands facing on a thunderbolt, its head turned to the left, with wings dramatically spread wide in the characteristic Alexandrian style. The powerful musculature of the wings is rendered in fine beaded feather detail, creating a bold and imposing design that fills the flan. The thunderbolt, symbol of Jupiter's authority, is depicted beneath the eagle's talons. The regnal year legend L ΚΑ (year 21) appears in the upper field, flanking the eagle's head on either side. The reverse exhibits a well-struck, deeply engraved type typical of Alexandrian bronze coinage under Hadrian. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Year 21 of Hadrian's reign fell during his final years of active administration, shortly after his controversial designation of Lucius Ceionius Commodus as heir — a choice so unpopular with the Senate that it was nearly invalidated by Commodus's death in early 138. Alexandrian bronzes of this regnal year were produced under the prefect of Egypt, functioning through a mint that operated on a distinct Egyptian calendar cycle entirely separate from Rome's reckoning, which is why Alexandrian coins carry regnal year notations rather than consular dates.
