| Beschrijving keerzijde | Draped bust of Sarapis facing right, wearing the characteristic kalathos (modius) surmounted on his head, adorned with an Ammon horn and laurel wreath, with long wavy hair falling to the shoulders. The syncretic deity combines elements of Egyptian and Greco-Roman iconography, reflecting the religious milieu of Alexandria. A regnal year legend in Greek appears in the field to the right of the bust. The modius atop the head is rendered with detail consistent with high-quality Alexandrian die-cutting of the Hadrianic period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Year 9 of Hadrian's reign corresponds to his first documented visit to Egypt in 130 AD — though that date falls outside this coin's production window, the Alexandrian mint was already responding to imperial attention with elevated output. The bilion tetradrachm series for regnal year 9 is reasonably well attested across the major references, with Dattari and Emmett in close agreement on type classification. RPC III 5427 consolidates the surviving die evidence without flagging anomalies in this particular emission.
The "ET ENAT" legend is simply the Greek rendering of "year 9," standard Alexandrian practice for dating provincial coinage to the regnal year.
