| Beschrijving keerzijde | A large eight-pointed star with elongated rays radiating from a central boss, occupying the full reverse field. The design is boldly struck and centrally placed, with no surrounding legend or exergual inscription. This simple astral motif is characteristic of small-denomination Alexandrian bronze issues struck under Augustus. |

Alexandrian bronze issues of Augustus occupy an awkward institutional position: Egypt was not a province in the conventional Roman sense but the personal property of the emperor, administered separately from the Senate and barred to Roman senators without explicit imperial permission. The city mint at Alexandria operated under this arrangement, producing a coinage that circulated locally rather than integrating with the broader Roman bronze system.
At 0.90g, this piece is toward the lower end of weight for the type — not unusual, as Alexandrian bronze of this period shows considerable variation reflecting local production norms rather than Roman metrology.
