| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate head of Emperor Claudius facing right, rendered in the provincial Alexandrian style with broad, somewhat schematic facial features typical of Egyptian mint production. The laureate wreath is rendered with radiating leaves framing the portrait. The surrounding Greek legend encircles the effigy within the field, partially visible on the irregularly shaped flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Year 3 of Claudius's reign in Egypt fell squarely within his consolidation of imperial authority following the chaos of Caligula's assassination in 41 AD. The Alexandrian mint operated on a distinct regnal dating system tied to the Egyptian calendar, issuing bronze for local circulation rather than the silver and gold reserved for Rome's wider monetary network. Egypt remained a closed currency zone under the early emperors — foreign coins were exchanged at the border, and only locally struck issues were accepted within the province.
