EGYPT, Alexandria. Trajan. AD 98-117. Æ Drachm (36.5mm, 24.36 g, 12h). Dated RY 13 (AD 109/110). Laureate bust right, wearing aegis / Harpokrates of Canopus: as a youth, nude from the waist up with the lower body of a crocodile, holding cornucopia with his left arm, right hand raised to his mouth, wearing skhent and standing left between two garlanded altars; jug on altar to left, box(?) containing multiple uraei(?) on altar to right; L I Γ (date) in exergue. Köln –; Dattari (Savio) 903; K&G –; RPC III –; Emmett –. Dark green patina with touches of reddish-brown, earthen encrustation on edge. Near VF. Extremely rare, not cited by the authors of K&G, RPC, or Emmett, and not in CoinArchives.

Apparently the only published example of this type is the Dattari specimen, but due to its well-worn condition, the Dattari coin was not included in K&G, RPC, and Keith Emmett’s work.
