| Additional information |
Year 24 of Antoninus Pius's reign, which is what the L ΚΔ regnal date confirms — a dating convention unique to Alexandrian bronze issues that makes precise attribution possible where Roman provincial coins otherwise resist it. At 0.95 grams, this piece sits well below the typical output of the Alexandrian mint for this period, suggesting either significant flan trimming in circulation or striking from a depleted blank.
