| Beschrijving keerzijde | Harpocrates of Hermopolis, the child solar deity, seated to the left upon a throne, holding a tall sceptre in his hand. To both the left and right of the enthroned figure, an animal is depicted atop a garlanded altar, referencing the sacred cult animals associated with the Hermopolitan religious tradition. The composition is characteristic of the syncretistic religious imagery favored in Alexandrian provincial coinage, blending Egyptian and Hellenistic iconographic elements. The date legend in Greek numerals appears in the field, identifying this issue as belonging to regnal year 13 of Trajan's reign. The reverse fabric shows the typical broad, flat striking surface of large Alexandrian bronze drachms. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Year 13 of Trajan's reign saw Alexandria's mint producing at considerable volume to supply a province that ran almost entirely on its own closed currency system — Roman denarii did not circulate freely in Egypt, which maintained a separate fiduciary economy controlled through the prefect's office. This Æ35 belongs to that captive monetary system, exchangeable only within Egypt's borders at rates set by the state.
The L ΙΓ date formula, marking regnal year 13 by the Egyptian calendar, anchors this piece to 109–110 AD, just before Trajan's Parthian campaign consumed imperial attention and resources.
