背面描述	A Heracles club depicted upright in the center of the field, handle uppermost, rendered in a simple but bold style characteristic of provincial Cappadocian coinage. Flanking the club on either side is the Greek date formula ΕΤ Δ, denoting the fourth regnal year of Hadrian. The reverse field is otherwise plain, with no exergue line.

附加信息	The regnal date ΕΤ Δ — year four of Hadrian's reign — places this drachm squarely in the period immediately following his contested accession, when Trajan's death in August 117 AD had triggered a sharp political crisis, including the controversial execution of four senior consular senators. Caesarea's Cappadocian mint was one of very few provincial operations producing silver at this moment, filling a regional need that Rome's own coinage did not adequately address at the eastern frontier.
