背面描述	Eagle standing left with head turned right, holding a wreath in its beak, wings spread — the canonical reverse type of the Alexandrian tetradrachm during the Tetrarchic period. To the right of the eagle appears the regnal year numeral Η (year 8, corresponding to 292–293 AD), with the workshop or control mark Δ below or in the field. The composition is bold and well-centred, with the eagle's tail and talons clearly rendered. The plain field surrounding the type is typical of late Alexandrian coinage.

附加信息	By 292–293, Alexandria's mint was producing tetradrachms in the final year of the Egyptian reckoning system that had run continuously since Augustus — Diocletian's reform would soon sweep it away entirely. The "L Η" notation marks regnal year 8, one of the last cohorts of coins to carry that ancient dating convention before the Diocletianic reorganization standardized provincial coinage across the empire. The Δ workshop mark places this piece among identifiable mint batches from Alexandria's organized production runs, which Milne's excavation cataloguing at the site helped systematize.
