EGYPT, Alexandria. Hadrian. AD 117-138. Æ Drachm (34mm, 24.84 g, 12h). Dated RY 16 (AD 131/2). Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust right / Nilus seated right on pile of rocks, holding reed with his right hand and cornucopia with his left; crocodile to left below; before him, Isis-Euthenia standing facing, head left, holding a sistrum in her raised right hand and two grain ears with her left; L Iς (date) in exergue. Köln 1058; Dattari (Savio) 1811; K&G 32.520; RPC III 5793; Emmett 1020.16 (R4). Red-brown surfaces, roughness, edge splits. Near VF. Rare.

A one year type, struck only in year 16. The reference in Emmett to a regnal year 10 example refers to the Dattari coin, no. 1810, which is almost certainly year 16, with the date being mostly off of the flan.
