| Beschrijving keerzijde | Draped bust of Zeus facing left, his head adorned with a laurel wreath, rendered in the Hellenistic-Egyptian provincial style typical of Alexandrian coinage. The bust is depicted with broad shoulders and flowing drapery, reflecting the syncretic artistic tradition of the mint. The regnal year legend L ΙΖ (Year 17) appears in the field, serving as the primary reverse inscription in lieu of a fuller legend. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Year 17 of Antoninus Pius's reign — the regnal year embedded in the Greek dating system used exclusively by the Alexandrian mint — corresponds to 153–154 AD, a period of notable administrative stability in Egypt under the prefect Marcus Sempronius Liberalis. Alexandria operated as a closed currency system: Roman imperial coinage did not circulate freely in Egypt, and provincials were required to exchange foreign coin at the border, making Alexandrian bronzes a deliberately isolated monetary population. The IV.4 reference places this within Dattari-Savio's exhaustive corpus of Alexandrian issues, the authoritative reckoning for this series.
