| Beschrijving voorzijde | Draped bust of Faustina II facing right, depicted as a young woman with hair elaborately waved and drawn back, rendered in the characteristic Antonine court style. The portrait is executed in moderately high relief with softly modeled facial features. The Greek legend is arranged around the periphery of the flan, partially visible due to the irregular planchet. The obverse presents the empress in her capacity as Augusta and daughter of the reigning emperor Antoninus Pius. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
This issue belongs to Year 13 of Antoninus Pius's reign — a period of remarkable administrative stability in Egypt, where the prefect's office maintained tight control over the provincial bronze coinage. Alexandria's mint operated under direct imperial oversight, and the dating by regnal year on Egyptian bronzes provides an unusually precise chronological anchor compared to most provincial issues. The L ΤΡΙϹΚΑΙ notation, marking year 13, places production firmly within a decade when the province saw neither flood failure nor serious fiscal disruption — which may partly explain why Alexandrian bronzes of this period survive in comparatively better condition than those from more turbulent reigns.
