| Beschrijving keerzijde | A crocodile depicted in profile facing right, rendered in a schematic but recognizable manner typical of Alexandrian provincial coinage of the Flavian period. The crocodile, a sacred animal in Egyptian religious tradition and an enduring symbol of Roman Egypt, occupies the central field. The regnal date legend L Ϛ (Year 6) appears in the field, identifying the coin's year of issue within Domitian's reign. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Year 6 of Domitian's reign in Egypt corresponds to 86–87 AD, a period when the Alexandria mint was producing a high volume of small bronzes for everyday local transactions. Egyptian coinage operated on a closed currency system — Roman silver was barred from circulation in the province, forcing the mint to supply all denominations locally. These smallest bronzes, the workhorses of the system, circulated hard and survived poorly.
