| Beschrijving keerzijde | The Canopic jar of Osiris-Serapis, depicted facing right in the field, surmounted by the head of the deity wearing a modius and flanked by the characteristic shoulder appendages of the Canopus type; the urn rests on a decorated base. This distinctly Alexandrian religious motif reflects the syncretic Greco-Egyptian cult of Serapis promoted during the imperial period. The date legend appears in two parts flanking the central device within a beaded border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Year 11 of Hadrian's reign fell during his extended tour of the eastern provinces — he visited Egypt in 130 AD, but the administrative machinery of Alexandria was already producing coins in his name years before he arrived in person. The Alexandrian mint operated under a distinct billon standard entirely separate from the Roman imperial silver system, a deliberate retention of Ptolemaic-era monetary tradition that Rome never bothered to harmonize. Egyptian coinage remained inconvertible outside the province by law.
The Köln and Dattari references place this piece within a well-documented regnal year, making attribution unusually clean for a provincial issue of this period.
