| Beschrijving keerzijde | Hermes standing in three-quarter pose facing left, rendered in the Hellenistic tradition typical of Alexandrian provincial coinage. The god holds grain ears in his right hand and a caduceus in his left, emphasizing the mercantile and agricultural symbolism appropriate to Alexandria. The regnal date legend L ΙΑ appears in the field, denoting Year 11 of Domitian's reign (91–92 CE). A dotted border frames the design on the well-struck reverse. |

Regnal year 11 of Domitian (91–92 AD) falls near the close of his reign, a period Roman historians — particularly Suetonius and Pliny the Younger — characterized as a paranoid tyranny. The Alexandrian mint continued striking bronze for local circulation regardless, operating on a civic calendar anchored to the Egyptian regnal year rather than Roman consular dating, which is why these provincials carry the distinctive L followed by the year numeral.
Domitian was assassinated in September 96 AD, and the Senate immediately voted damnatio memoriae against him.
