| Beschrijving keerzijde | Draped bust of the goddess Isis facing right, her head adorned with the characteristic Isiac crown consisting of a taenia, a solar disc flanked by cow horns, emblematic of her syncretistic identity with Hathor. The drapery falls in fine folds over the shoulders, executed in the Romano-Egyptian provincial style typical of Alexandrian tetradrachm coinage. The regnal date L Η (year 8, corresponding to 123-124 AD) is displayed in the field, with L to the left and Η to the right of the bust. The reverse composition is austere, with no additional field marks, focusing attention on the deity's crowned effigy. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Year 8 of Hadrian's reign fell during his early consolidation of imperial policy, when Alexandria remained the most administratively complex mint in the Roman world — managing both Roman provincial demands and the deep-rooted Ptolemaic monetary traditions the city never fully abandoned. The Alexandrian tetradrachm series under Hadrian is exceptionally well-documented, with regnal year dating providing a precision rare in provincial coinage, though die studies have revealed considerable variation in fabric and flan preparation across even single-year issues.
