Hello,

I need help with what is as far as I know an Egyptian drachm, emperor Hadrian. Readable obverse: AVT KAI C TP, portrait of the emperor. Reverse is as far as I can tell Zeus. Size: around 33mm, weight: 18,05g. I'm looking for its catalogue reference, mint and any additional info.

Thank you!

Maybe Sarapis reverse, like:

Yes, you're right, it's Sarapis. I think this solves it, thank you!

Thank you! A rarity of 5 makes this the rarest coin in my collection and my only Egyptian provincial.
