背面描述	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.

附加信息	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.
