| Beschrijving keerzijde | Nike (Victory), winged and draped, standing to the right with one foot raised and resting upon a helmet, leaning forward to inscribe a shield that rests upon a short column. The figure is rendered in the Hellenistic tradition typical of Alexandrian provincial coinage. The regnal year date appears in the field to the left, and the inscription ΝΙΚΗ is incised upon the shield itself. |

Year 10 of Antoninus Pius's reign — LΔ on the obverse — corresponds to the Egyptian regnal year calculated from the Roman emperor's dies imperii, a dating convention the Alexandrian mint maintained with bureaucratic precision throughout the imperial period. The Nike reverse with inscribed shield was a common Alexandrian type deployed during years of relative provincial stability, though Egypt's grain surplus made it perpetually central to Roman imperial logistics regardless of military activity elsewhere.
The IV.4 reference places this within Dattari-Savio's exhaustive cataloguing of Alexandrian bronzes, where Antonine issues frequently survive in better condition than their western counterparts due to Egypt's arid burial environment.
