| Beschrijving keerzijde | Nike, the winged goddess of victory, advances briskly to the left, her figure rendered in flowing drapery with wings spread behind her. She holds a victor's wreath outstretched in her right hand and carries a long palm branch in her left, both attributes emblematic of triumph and imperial glory. The regnal date legend L Ϛ (Year 6, corresponding to 121–122 AD) is inscribed in the field to the left of the figure, following standard Alexandrian dating practice. The composition is enclosed within a faint border, and the style is consistent with the provincial engraving conventions of the Alexandrian mint under Hadrian. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Year 6 of Hadrian's reign — Regnal Year Ϛ — falls squarely within his first great tour of the provinces, a journey that reshaped imperial policy across the eastern Mediterranean. Alexandria's mint was acutely aware of his movements; tetradrachms issued during his Egyptian visit of 130-131 are well documented, but this earlier piece predates his arrival, struck while the city was still anticipating imperial attention rather than responding to it. The Alexandrian mint operated on a closed currency system, meaning this coin never circulated outside Egypt.
