| Beschrijving keerzijde | Harpocrates, the Egyptian god of silence and childhood, depicted standing facing with head turned to the left. The deity raises his right index finger to his lips in the characteristic gesture of silence, while his left arm cradles a cornucopia, symbolising abundance and divine beneficence. The figure is rendered in the syncretistic Greco-Egyptian artistic tradition typical of Alexandrian provincial coinage. The regnal year is inscribed in the field in Greek numerals. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Year eight of Hadrian's reign coincided with his first grand tour of the eastern provinces — a journey that would eventually take him through Egypt in 130–131 AD, though he had not yet arrived at the time of this striking. Alexandria's mint was producing heavily during these years, in part to meet demand generated by Hadrian's extensive military retinue and the administrative costs of his itinerant court moving across the empire.
The billon tetradrachms of this mint are notoriously inconsistent in silver content across regnal years; year eight issues tend toward the higher end of fineness for the Hadrianic series.
