| Beschrijving keerzijde | An erect serpent coils rightward with the head of Sarapis, the syncretic Graeco-Egyptian deity, wearing a kalathos (modius) atop its crown. The serpent's body entwines stalks of grain, symbolising fertility and the abundance of the Nile. The design reflects the deeply rooted Alexandrian religious iconography blending Egyptian and Hellenistic elements. The date regnal legend appears in the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Year 17 of Antoninus Pius's reign, rendered in Egyptian reckoning as L ΙΖ, places this issue within one of the most administratively stable periods Alexandria's mint ever operated. The city's bronze coinage under Antoninus was produced in enormous volume — Egypt's grain-dependent economy ran on small transactions, and the mint was effectively a production facility as much as a monetary authority. Survival in any condition above heavily corroded is the real qualifier here; most examples spent decades in the Nile Delta's punishing soil before reaching collectors.
