| Reverse description | The distinctive headdress of Isis depicted centrally in the field, consisting of a tall feathered or horned crown element rising above a base, rendered in low relief on a rough, irregular flan. The regnal date legend L ΙΘ (Year 19) appears in the field to the right of the device, referencing the 19th regnal year of Antoninus Pius, corresponding to 155–156 AD. The overall design is characteristic of small Alexandrian bronze issues with religious iconography. |

| Additional information |
Year 19 of Antoninus Pius's reign, which is what L ΙΘ designates — the regnal dating system used exclusively by Alexandrian bronze coinage, a bureaucratic holdover from Ptolemaic practice that Rome never bothered to abolish in Egypt. At 1.41g, this piece sits at the lighter end of the Æ13 range, consistent with known weight drift in the Alexandrian mint's smaller denominations as the second century progressed.
