| Beschrijving keerzijde | Two Canopi of Osiris depicted facing right in the upper field, representing the sacred Alexandrian cult objects with their characteristic human-headed jar forms. Below the Canopi, a large eagle stands facing right with wings spread wide, a prominent symbol of imperial power frequently employed in Alexandrian provincial coinage. The regnal date legend L Ε (Year 5) appears in the field. The composition is boldly struck but shows heavy wear and encrustation consistent with circulation use. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Year five of Antoninus Pius's reign — rendered here as L Ε — places this issue squarely in the early period of his administration, before the Alexandrian mint had fully settled into the rhythms of his long, uneventful principate. The regnal year dating system used at Alexandria is itself a product of Rome's accommodation of Egyptian administrative tradition, retained as a practical concession to a province that had kept its own calendar since the Ptolemies.
The Emmett reference IV.4#426 places this among a well-documented but numerically dense series; distinguishing individual types within Antoninus's fifth-year coinage requires close attention to reverse type rather than any feature the flan itself advertises.
