| Reverse description | The Agathodaemon serpent, the tutelary deity of Alexandria, depicted erect and rearing to the right, crowned with the double Egyptian crown (pschent), symbolising sovereignty over Upper and Lower Egypt. The serpent's coils enfold a caduceus and a stalk of grain (corn), emblematic of prosperity and the fertile bounty of the Nile. The date legend L Γ, denoting regnal year 3 of Hadrian (118–119 AD), appears in the field. The reverse type is a hallmark of Alexandrian civic coinage, blending Hellenistic and Egyptian religious iconography. |
