| Reverse description | Harpocrates, the Egyptian god of silence and childhood, depicted standing facing with head turned to the left. The deity raises the right index finger to his lips in his characteristic gesture of silence, while the left arm holds a cornucopia. The regnal date legend appears in the field, identifying the year of issue within Hadrian's reign. The reverse type reflects the syncretism of Greco-Egyptian religious imagery characteristic of Alexandrian coinage. The composition is typical of the provincial tetradrachm series struck under the Roman administration of Egypt. |
