| Beschrijving keerzijde | An eagle stands facing right with head turned back over its left shoulder, wings closed, rendered in the bold, stylised manner typical of Alexandrian provincial coinage. The regnal year date L Ε (Year 5, corresponding to 120–121 AD) appears divided across the field, with L to the left and Ε to the right of the eagle. The eagle, a sacred emblem of Zeus and a recurring type on Alexandrian tetradrachms, dominates the reverse field. A beaded border frames the design. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Year five of Hadrian's reign coincided with his sweeping administrative reforms of the Egyptian province, which he governed through a prefect rather than visiting himself until 130 AD. Alexandria's mint operated under direct imperial oversight and produced billon tetradrachms — debased silver that had been standard Egyptian practice since the Ptolemies — in a closed currency system that prevented these coins from circulating outside Egypt's borders.
The Köln and Dattari references place this piece within a well-documented sequence, though die alignment and flan preparation vary considerably across the L Ε series.
