| Beschrijving keerzijde | A hawk standing to the right, depicted in the Egyptian sacred tradition as an embodiment of Horus. The bird is surmounted by the double crown of Upper and Lower Egypt (skhent), a distinctly Pharaonic iconographic element reflecting the syncretic religious character of Alexandrian coinage. The date legend appears in the field, rendered in Greek with the regnal year expressed in the Egyptian dating system. The overall style blends Greco-Roman coin-making with traditional Egyptian religious symbolism. |

Year nine of Antoninus Pius's reign — the regnal year encoded in the Greek legend — places this issue squarely in the middle of his unusually stable and uneventful principate. Alexandria's civic bronze coinage operated under the prefect of Egypt, entirely separate from the Roman imperial mint system, with denominations and types set locally rather than in Rome. The workshop produced a remarkable volume of small bronzes in this period, many of which circulated heavily in the Nile Delta and into Upper Egypt.
