| Beschrijving keerzijde | Bust of the Egyptian deity Harpocrates facing right, wearing the double crown (skhent) surmounted by a stephane, adorned with a taenia around the head. The god raises his right index finger to his lips in his characteristic gesture of silence and mystery. A cornucopia appears behind the figure, symbolising abundance and prosperity. The regnal date L ΙΘ (Year 19) appears in the field, dating the issue to the 19th year of Antoninus Pius's reign. The reverse design reflects the syncretic religious iconography favoured in Alexandrian provincial coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Year 19 of Antoninus Pius's reign — rendered as L ΙΘ on the coin — places this issue squarely within one of the most administratively stable periods Roman Egypt ever experienced. The Alexandria mint operated under tight prefectural control, with output calibrated to local demand rather than empire-wide monetary policy. Egyptian provincial bronze effectively never left the province; Roman law prohibited its export, making Alexandrian coinage a closed currency system unique in the Roman world.
