| Beschrijving keerzijde | An ibis standing right, rendered in a stylized manner characteristic of Alexandrian provincial bronze coinage. The ibis, a sacred bird associated with the god Thoth, is depicted with its distinctive long curved beak and upright posture. The regnal date legend L ΙΒ (Year 12) appears in the field, identifying the coin as struck in the twelfth regnal year of Domitian. The flan is irregular and the surfaces show the typical coarseness of small-module provincial bronzes. |

Regnal year 12 of Domitian's reign places this piece in the final years before his assassination in 96 AD, when senatorial hostility toward the emperor had reached its peak. The Alexandrian mint operated on a closed currency system — provincial bronze from Egypt was not legal tender elsewhere in the empire, and Roman coinage was technically barred from circulating within Egypt. This deliberate monetary isolation kept Egypt's economy under tight imperial control, a policy dating back to the Ptolemaic system the Romans absorbed and maintained.
