Æ34 - Antoninus Pius ϹΕΒΕΝΝΥΤΗϹ L Η

Year 8 of Antoninus Pius's reign, rendered on Alexandrian bronzes as L Η, places this coin in 144/145 AD — a period of administrative calm in Egypt that Alexandrian mint output reflects in sheer volume. The Antonine era saw the nome coinage system at something close to its peak, with individual Egyptian districts issuing types under centralized Roman oversight but retaining local divine and civic references.

ϹΕΒΕΝΝΥΤΗϹ identifies this as a nome coin of Sebennytus, a Delta city in the Saite nome whose local cult centered on Onuris-Shu. These nome bronzes were produced for a single regnal year and did not circulate beyond their immediate region — which explains why the type is rare in high grades despite the mint's productivity.
