| Reverse description | Draped bust of the personification of Alexandria facing right, wearing her distinctive helmet in the form of an elephant's scalp, a well-known iconographic attribute identifying this city-goddess on Alexandrian provincial coinage. The regnal date L Δ (year 4) appears in the field, with L to the left and Δ to the right of the bust. The rendering is typical of the Alexandrian mint's provincial style under Hadrian, with bold, slightly schematic portraiture. |
