背面描述	Eagle standing facing with wings spread, head turned to left, displayed in the characteristic Alexandrian numismatic convention. The bird is rendered with considerable detail in the feathering of the wings and body despite the coin's worn surfaces. The date legend appears in the field, recording regnal year 17 in the Egyptian calendar. The composition fills the flan boldly, consistent with the large-module Alexandrian bronze issues of Antoninus Pius.

附加信息	Year 17 of Antoninus Pius's reign, which is what the "L ΙΖ" regnal date indicates — Alexandrian bronzes were dated by the Egyptian calendar year, a practice unique among provincial mints and invaluable to modern chronologists. The Alexandria mint was the sole authorized producer of coinage for Roman Egypt, a deliberate policy that isolated the province's money supply from the rest of the empire; Egyptian coins could not legally circulate outside Egypt, and foreign coins brought in had to be exchanged at the city's state-run trapezai. Antoninus Pius never visited Egypt. He never left Italy at all during his 23-year reign.
