Reverse description Draped bust of the syncretic deity Sarapis facing right, crowned with the distinctive tall kalathos (modius) and a laurel wreath, characteristic iconographic attributes of this Greco-Egyptian god as depicted on Alexandrian coinage. The rendering reflects the blend of Hellenic and Egyptian religious traditions prominent in provincial Alexandrian numismatic art. The regnal date legend L ΙΕ (Year 15) appears in the field, denoting the fifteenth year of Hadrian's reign in the Alexandrian dating system, corresponding to 130–131 AD. The flan is irregular and slightly scalloped at the edges, typical of hammered Alexandrian silver issues of this period.
