| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare laureate bust of Antoninus Pius facing right, with drapery visible at the shoulder. The emperor's effigy is rendered in the typical Alexandrian provincial style, with naturalistic facial features and a wreath of laurel encircling the head. The surrounding legend in Greek characters runs along the periphery of the flan. The flan shows typical irregularity and edge chipping consistent with Alexandrian bronze coinage of the mid-second century AD. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Year 7 of Antoninus Pius's reign — the regnal year marked by the L Ζ (Etos 7) date on Egyptian coinage — fell as the Antonine Wall was being pushed across northern Britain, though Alexandria's mint showed no interest in commemorating frontier warfare. The city's bronze issues of this period were enormous in module and heavy in flan, reflecting the Egyptian nome system's persistence as a semi-autonomous monetary zone operating in debased bronze well outside Rome's standard denominational logic.
Dattari's corpus, the foundation for the IV.4 references now standard in the field, documented significant die variation across Year 7 issues. The specific reverse type assigned to #704 places this piece within a tightly sequenced production run.
