| Additional information |
Year 6 of Hadrian's reign saw the emperor himself pass through Egypt — his visit to Alexandria in 130 AD came later, but the provincial mint was already producing coinage calibrated to his image well before that celebrated tour. The Alexandrian billon tetradrachm series under Hadrian is exceptionally well documented, and regnal year 6 (L Ϛ) falls squarely within the early, stable phase of his mint output before the eastern journeys disrupted normal administrative rhythms.
Emmett 830.6 cross-references cleanly with Milne 1073, a reassuring convergence given how frequently Alexandrian types of this period suffer from misattribution between adjacent regnal years.
