| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust of Antoninus Pius facing right, rendered in high relief in the provincial Roman style. The emperor's portrait displays characteristic features including a short beard and stylized laurel wreath. The Greek legend runs clockwise around the periphery of the flan. The coin exhibits the irregular, somewhat flat flan typical of Alexandrian provincial bronze coinage of this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Year five of Antoninus Pius's reign, which this coin marks with the regnal date L Ε, coincided with the emperor's push to consolidate Roman administrative control over Egypt's monetary system. Alexandria functioned as a closed currency zone — Roman silver was barred from circulation, forcing all exchange through locally struck bronze and billon. This piece is a product of that enforced insularity.
