| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate and draped bust of Emperor Hadrian facing right, with drapery visible on the left shoulder, rendered in the characteristic Alexandrian provincial style. A crescent symbol appears to the right of the portrait in the field. The encircling Greek legend reads ΑΥΤ ΚΑΙ ΤΡΑΙ - ΑΔΡΙΑ ϹΕΒ, abbreviated titulature identifying the emperor as Autocrator Caesar Trajanus Hadrianus Sebastos. The flan is irregular and slightly porous, consistent with Alexandrian silver tetradrachm fabric of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Year eight of Hadrian's reign coincided with his first great tour of the eastern provinces — a journey that reshaped imperial policy toward Alexandria and prompted a surge in local civic and religious coinage. The Alexandrian mint, operating under Roman authority but retaining its own regnal dating system, marked each year of the emperor's reign with a Greek numeral, here Η for year eight.
Hadrian visited Egypt in 130 AD, slightly later than this piece was struck, but his philhellenic administrative reforms were already being felt in the province by 123.
