| Beschrijving keerzijde | Asclepius, the god of medicine, standing facing with head turned to the left. In his right hand he holds a patera extended over a flaming altar around which a serpent is entwined, and in his left hand he holds his characteristic serpent-staff (kerykeion). The regnal year date appears in the field. The composition reflects the strong Hellenistic religious tradition maintained in Alexandrian civic coinage of the Antonine period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Year 8 of Antoninus Pius's reign, which this coin's regnal date L Η records, fell during a period of deliberate administrative consolidation in Egypt. Antoninus never visited the province — he is one of the few emperors of the high imperial period known to have remained in Italy throughout his reign — yet Alexandria's mint continued producing a prolific and iconographically ambitious local bronze coinage entirely disconnected from the Rome mint's output. The Egyptian series operated under its own denominational logic, answerable to the prefect rather than the central treasury.
