| Beschrijving keerzijde | Draped bust of Sarapis facing right, the deity distinguished by the tall kalathos (modius) crown surmounting his head and a taenia (fillet or band) visible in his elaborately rendered hair. Long, flowing locks descend in wavy strands onto the shoulders, executed in the distinctive Alexandrian tradition of Sarapic iconography. The bust is truncated and set centrally on a broad, plain field. The regnal date legend L ΙΖ (Year 17) appears in the field, serving as the primary reverse inscription on this drachm-class provincial issue. |

Year 17 of Antoninus Pius's reign, which this coin's regnal date records, fell during one of the more administratively uneventful stretches of the entire imperial period — a fact the Alexandrian mint's prolific output quietly reflects. Egypt's bronze coinage was struck exclusively for local circulation; it could not legally leave the province, a currency isolation Rome maintained deliberately to control the grain-rich region's economy.
The Alexandrian series for this year is well-documented in Dattari and subsequent corpora, though die linkage studies have shown the mint was running multiple obverse dies concurrently by regnal year 17.
