| Beschrijving keerzijde | Eagle standing left on a small base or groundline, with wings spread and head turned to the left, holding a wreath in its beak. A palm branch is visible behind the right wing, a common emblem of victory and imperial power on Alexandrian tetradrachms. The date regnal year Γ (year 3, corresponding to 223–224 AD) appears in the left field as L Γ. The design is bold and typical of the late Severan Alexandrian coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Year 3 of Severus Alexander's reign, struck at Alexandria's imperial mint under the distinctive Egyptian regnal-year system that reset with each emperor's accession. The billon tetradrachm series from this period reflects the progressive debasement of Egypt's closed currency system, which Rome had maintained as a monetary quarantine zone since Augustus — provincial coinage that could not legally circulate outside Egypt, and foreign coinage that could not legally circulate within it.
Milne 2872 places this squarely in the well-documented Alexandrian sequence, cross-referenced by Dattari and Köln without significant die discrepancies noted among the type.
