| Beschrijving keerzijde | A horse grazing to the right occupies the central field, its head lowered toward the ground in a naturalistic pose characteristic of the well-known Alexandrian Troas type referencing the sacred herds of the Sminthian Apollo. The figure is rendered in relief against a plain field, with the colonial abbreviation legend distributed around the periphery within a dotted border. The overall execution is consistent with the provincial bronze coinage of this mint during the Commodan period. |

Alexandria Troas was a Roman colony — formally Colonia Alexandria Augusta Troas — whose coinage occupied an unusual administrative position, falling under the conventus of Adramyteum despite the city's geographic remove from that judicial district's center. The abbreviated civic title compressed onto this bronze reflects a naming convention the colony used consistently across its autonomous issues, distinguishing its output from the surrounding Greek civic coinages of the region.
The years 180–183 correspond to Commodus's earliest sole rule following the death of Marcus Aurelius, before the increasingly erratic behavior that would define his later reign.
