| Beschrijving keerzijde | Zeus Olympios depicted standing facing, with head turned to the left, rendered in the nude with fine classical style typical of Alexandrian bronze and billon coinage of the Hadrianic period. The deity extends his right hand forward holding a thunderbolt, while his left hand rests upon a tall sceptre. The regnal dating legend ΕΤ Θ appears divided in the field to the left and right of the figure, indicating Year 9 of Hadrian's reign. A beaded border encircles the reverse field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Year 9 of Hadrian's reign in Egypt corresponds to 124–125 AD, a period when the emperor was almost certainly in the province himself — his famous tour of Egypt took place in 130–131, but administrative attention to Alexandria intensified throughout the decade. The Alexandrian mint operated under a distinct monetary system entirely separate from the Roman imperial coinage, producing silver tetradrachms with a notably debased alloy that contemporaries and modern analysts alike have struggled to classify cleanly as "silver" in any conventional sense.
Emmett 836.9 is well-attested across major collections, Milne and Dattari concordances aligning closely on this regnal year.
