The deity's drapery is visible at the shoulder. The regnal date legend L ΔΕΚΑΤΟΥ, denoting the tenth year of Hadrian's reign, is inscribed in the field to the left and around the right side of the bust. |

Year 10 of Hadrian's reign coincides almost exactly with his first visit to Egypt — a journey he undertook in 130 AD, though the administrative numbering of regnal years in Alexandria ran on a different calendar cycle anchored to the Egyptian new year in late August. The Alexandrian mint operated under distinct imperial oversight, producing billon tetradrachms as a closed currency system: Roman coins did not circulate freely in Egypt, and Egyptian issues did not leave the province. This monetary isolation was deliberate, inherited from Ptolemaic practice and maintained by Rome as a fiscal control mechanism.
The Köln and Dattari references place this squarely within a well-documented sequence, but individual die matches across the four major catalogues frequently diverge.
