| Beschrijving keerzijde | Frontal draped bust of the syncretic deity Sarapis, crowned with the characteristic kalathos (modius), possibly surrounded by an aureole. A star appears in the left field and a crescent in the right field, both symbols associated with the astral and celestial attributes of Sarapis in Alexandrian religious iconography. The date legend L ΚΒ (regnal year 22) is positioned in the field, corresponding to the 22nd year of Antoninus Pius's reign. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Year 22 of Antoninus Pius's reign, which is what the L ΚΒ regnal date formula denotes — Alexandria being one of the very few mints in the Roman world that dated its coins by regnal year rather than consul or tribunician power. This practice, inherited from Ptolemaic tradition, makes Alexandrian bronzes unusually precise chronological documents. The 158–159 issue falls squarely in the quietest stretch of Antoninus's rule, a reign so uneventful that the Historia Augusta struggles to fill pages.
