| Beschrijving keerzijde | The Agathodaimon, the sacred serpent-deity of Alexandria, depicted in its characteristic form as a serpent with a raised head, moving to the right across the field, and holding an ear of grain (wheat). In the lower field appears the regnal date. The Agathodaimon was a tutelary deity of Alexandria and frequently appears on Alexandrian coinage as a symbol of the city's prosperity and divine protection. The reverse type is boldly struck with the serpentine body clearly rendered in high relief. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Alexandria's civic bronze coinage under Septimius Severus was tied to the Egyptian regnal year system, with LΘ denoting Year 9 of his reign — a dating convention unique to the Alexandrian mint that allows unusually precise attribution within a reign otherwise plagued by undated provincial issues. Egypt was administered as the emperor's personal property, not a senatorial province, which gave the Alexandrian prefect considerable autonomy in selecting reverse types. The mint was prolific, yet survival rates for smaller Æ denominations are poor; the alluvial conditions of the Nile Delta are unforgiving to base metal.
