| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare-headed, laureate bust of Antoninus Pius facing right, depicted with characteristic curled hair and short beard in the Antonine style. The portrait is rendered in high relief with bold, naturalistic modelling typical of Alexandrian civic coinage. The circumferential Greek legend runs around the periphery of the flan. The flan is irregular in shape, consistent with hand-struck provincial bronze issues of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Year five of Antoninus Pius's reign — the regnal year encoded in the L Ε date formula — fell squarely within the period when Alexandria's mint was producing some of its most ambitious bronze issues under Roman administration. Egypt remained a closed currency zone throughout the imperial period; coinage struck at Alexandria could not legally circulate elsewhere in the empire, and foreign coins could not enter without being exchanged at the border. That monetary isolation is precisely why Alexandrian bronzes developed their own distinct dating system tied to the emperor's regnal year rather than the Roman consular calendar.
