| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate head of Augustus facing right, rendered in the Roman provincial style typical of the Alexandrian mint. The portrait is heavily worn, with the laurel wreath and facial features largely obscured by corrosion and patination. The coin surface shows a deep green patina consistent with prolonged burial in Egyptian soil. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Draped bust of Euthenia, the personification of abundance and prosperity, facing right, wearing a modius (grain-measure headdress) atop her head, characteristic of Alexandrian personifications. The Greek legend ΕΥΘΗΝΙΑ appears above or around the bust, with the regnal year date L Μ (year 40 of the Augustan era) inscribed in the field. The design is rendered in the standard Alexandrian provincial style, though detail is substantially obscured by heavy green patination and surface corrosion. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Struck in Alexandria during year 20 of Augustus's reign (10–11 AD), this bronze belongs to the distinctive Alexandrian civic coinage that operated entirely outside the Roman imperial mint system. Egypt was administered as a personal possession of the emperor — senators were barred from even entering the province without permission — and its coinage reflected that isolation, denominated in drachms and obols rather than Roman units and never intended to circulate beyond the Nile valley. The "LM" in the inscription is the regnal year rendered in Greek numerals, a dating convention unique to Alexandrian bronzes that makes precise attribution straightforward where Roman provincial issues often are not.
