| Beschrijving keerzijde | Heracles advancing to the right, depicted from the rear, wearing the Nemean lion skin about his neck and shoulders, with his club raised aloft in preparation to strike the Lernaean Hydra, which is shown prostrate on the ground to the right. The composition captures the dynamic moment of the hero's assault in a style characteristic of Alexandrian bronze coinage. The date legend appears in the field. The reverse type alludes to the Labours of Heracles, a popular mythological motif on Alexandrian provincial issues. |

The ΔΕΚΑΤΟΥ in the legend marks this as a regnal year dating piece — Year 10 of Antoninus Pius's reign, a system the Alexandrian mint maintained with unusual consistency throughout the imperial period. Alexandria was the only major mint in the Roman world that routinely dated its bronze issues this way, making Egyptian provincials among the most precisely attributable coins of the 2nd century.
