I have 2  common Hadrian Nilus drachms, Milne 1264-9, with
L-delta-W-delta-EK in the exergue, but I-gamma next to the
cornucopiae.

According to to Milne the exergual inscription relates to RN 12, but
the I-gamma to RN 13.

One can be seen at http://kernunnos.com//coins/Hadrian/had_AlexDr_M1266.jpg

I feel I am missing something obvious??

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Bill Blank
