| Beschrijving keerzijde | Enthroned bust of Nilus, the personification of the Nile River, shown with a cornucopia resting against the left shoulder, a common allegorical type of the Alexandrian mint evoking agricultural abundance and the annual flood. The figure is rendered in a seated or semi-draped pose within the central field. The regnal year date appears in the field alongside the imperial title abbreviation, following the standard Alexandrian dating convention. |

This piece dates to Nero's tenth regnal year in Egypt — a period when Alexandria's mint was operating under the prefect's administration rather than any direct imperial oversight, giving the local bureaucracy unusual latitude in production decisions. Egypt functioned as a personal estate of the emperor, legally distinct from the senatorial provinces, which is why Alexandrian coinage ran on its own dating system entirely.
Year 10 of Nero's reign coincides with the aftermath of the Pisonian conspiracy's early rumblings and the execution of Britannicus — the court was unstable, though that instability had not yet reached the Nile delta in any material way.
