| Beschrijving keerzijde | Draped bust of Alexandria, the personification of the city, facing right, wearing her distinctive headdress in the form of an elephant's scalp, a characteristic attribute identifying this civic deity on Alexandrian coinage. The bust is rendered with drapery at the truncation, in the Hellenistic-Roman provincial tradition. The regnal date L Ϛ appears in the field, denoting Year 6 of Hadrian's reign corresponding to 121-122 AD. The type reflects Alexandria's proud civic identity as expressed through its autonomous-style imperial coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Year six of Hadrian's reign coincided with his extensive tour of the eastern provinces — a journey that fundamentally reshaped imperial policy toward Egypt. Alexandria's mint was acutely sensitive to these visits; the emperor passed through Egypt in 130-131 AD, though preparations and administrative realignments preceded his arrival by years. The Alexandrian billon and silver output of this period reflects the mint operating under close imperial scrutiny rather than provincial routine.
The regnal year dating system used by Alexandria — unique among Roman provincial mints — makes precise attribution straightforward, a rarity for issues of this complexity.
