| Beschrijving keerzijde | Bust of the ram-horned deity Ammon facing right, prominently displaying the characteristic large curling ram's horn, with a solar disk surmounting the head as a divine attribute. The finely modelled bust includes a draped shoulder truncation at the base. The regnal date legend is distributed in the field to either side of the effigy, a hallmark of Alexandrian provincial coinage dating practice. |

The regnal year designation "L ΕΝΑΤΟΥ" — year nine of Antoninus Pius — places this issue in 145/146 AD, a period of administrative calm in Egypt unusual enough to be worth noting. Alexandria's mint operated under strict prefectural oversight, its output tied to the closed currency system Rome maintained in Egypt, where provincial bronze could not legally circulate elsewhere in the empire and outside coinage could not enter. This isolation makes Alexandrian bronzes a self-contained monetary ecosystem, effectively sealed by imperial policy.
At 34mm, this is among the larger Alexandrian bronze denominations of the period, likely a diobol or larger fraction within the local reckoning.
