| Beschrijving keerzijde | An erect serpent facing right, its body coiled around stalks of grain, with the head of Sarapis rising from the coils, crowned with a kalathos (modius). The syncretistic image of the Agathos Daimon — the sacred serpent deity of Alexandria — is rendered in the characteristic Alexandrian style, combining the protective serpent symbol with the attributes of Sarapis. The corn stalks enfolded by the serpent's body allude to Egyptian fertility and the abundance associated with the Nile. The regnal date appears in the field to the left of the serpent. |

Regnal year 17 of Antoninus Pius corresponds to 153–154 AD, the final year of his reign before the L IH (year 18) issues — placing this coin at the tail end of a remarkably stable provincial series. Alexandria's mint maintained continuous bronze production throughout his reign, unusual for a period when many eastern mints ran intermittently. The L ΙΖ designation is the Greek numeral dating system specific to the Alexandrian series, a practice that makes Egyptian provincial bronzes among the most precisely datable of all Roman provincial coinage.
