| Beschrijving keerzijde | Isis Pharia depicted standing and advancing to the right, her robes billowing in the wind as she holds an inflated sail in her extended hands; a sistrum is held in her other hand. Before her stands the Pharos of Alexandria, the celebrated lighthouse rendered as a multi-tiered tower, one of the iconic reverse types of Alexandrian coinage. The regnal year date legend L Ε appears in the field to the right of the Pharos. The composition is bold and clearly executed despite the worn and patinated state of the flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Year five of Antoninus Pius's reign — rendered here as L Ε in the Alexandrian regnal dating system — fell during a period of relative administrative calm in Egypt, though the province had barely recovered from the catastrophic Jewish revolt of 115–117 AD, which left Alexandria's Jewish quarter largely destroyed. The Alexandrian mint operated under the prefect of Egypt rather than any central Roman monetary authority, giving its bronze coinage a semi-autonomous character found nowhere else in the empire.
The IV.4#499 reference places this within Dattari-Savio's expanded corpus, the essential framework for serious Alexandrian bronze collectors.
