| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate head of Emperor Vitellius facing right, rendered in the provincial style characteristic of Alexandrian coinage. The portrait displays a somewhat fleshy facial profile with detailed hair and laurel wreath treatment typical of Egyptian imperial bronzes. A Greek legend surrounds the effigy, reading partially ΩΛΟΥ ΟΥΙΤ ΚΑΙΣ ΣΕΒ ΓΕΡΜ ΑΥΤ, abbreviating the emperor's full titulature as Aulus Vitellius Caesar Augustus Germanicus Imperator. The workmanship reflects the local Alexandrian mint's distinctive hand-struck technique. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Draped bust of Sarapis facing right, the syncretic Greco-Egyptian deity depicted wearing the distinctive kalathos (modius) atop his head, a hallmark of his iconography on Alexandrian coinage. The bust shows characteristic curled hair and beard rendered in the Hellenistic tradition. The date formula L Α appears in the field to the right of the bust, indicating regnal year 1 of Vitellius's reign. The reverse design is typical of the religious imagery favored at the Alexandrian mint, reflecting the city's strong association with the cult of Sarapis. |
