| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate head of Emperor Antoninus Pius facing left, with traces of drapery visible at the shoulder truncation. The imperial effigy is rendered in the typical Antonine style, with the laurel wreath clearly defined atop the head. A Greek legend encircles the portrait along the periphery, identifying the emperor by his full titulature. The flan is irregular and the surfaces show the characteristic fabric of Alexandrian provincial bronze coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Year 15 of Antoninus Pius corresponds to 151–152 AD, placing this issue squarely within Alexandria's most prolific bronzework period under the prefectural administration of Egypt. The Alexandrian mint operated under direct imperial oversight rather than civic authority, making its output effectively a provincial arm of Rome's monetary apparatus. Egyptian bronze denominations of this reign were struck in remarkable volume — Antoninus ruled for 23 years without military crisis, and the mint's consistency shows it.
The regnal year dating system used by Alexandria, rendered here as ΙΕ (year 15), is what allows precise annual attribution impossible with most provincial issues.
