| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare-headed and bearded draped bust of Emperor Hadrian facing right, rendered with characteristic portraiture of the Hadrianic period including the emperor's distinctive short curled beard and wavy hair. The effigy is depicted from the rear or side, showing the drapery over the left shoulder. The encircling Latin legend reads HADRIANVS AVG COS III P P, distributed around the periphery of the flan. The flan is irregular with some edge fissures, typical of hammered silver coinage of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
This issue belongs to Hadrian's celebrated series of "travel coins" — provincial types struck in Rome to commemorate his extensive journeys through the empire. The Alexandria type dates to his Egyptian visit of 130–131 AD, a trip that included the famous tragedy of Antinous drowning in the Nile in October 130, an event that visibly shook the emperor and directly shaped the foundation of Antinoöpolis nearby. Egypt held a peculiar constitutional status in the Roman system — governed not by a senatorial proconsul but by an equestrian prefect answerable solely to the emperor — making its appearance in an imperial coin series politically charged in a way other provincial types were not.
