| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Antoninus Pius facing right, wearing the paludamentum over the shoulder. The emperor's effigy is rendered in the characteristic Alexandrian provincial style, with bold relief detailing of the laurel wreath and drapery folds. The encircling Greek legend reads ΑΝΤΩΝΙΝΟϹ ϹΕΒ ΕΥϹΕΒ, identifying the emperor by his title and the epithet Eusebes (Pius), distributed around the bust in the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Year 18 of Antoninus Pius's reign marks one of the longer-running issues in the Alexandrian billon tetradrachm series — a coinage that Rome tolerated as a closed currency system, meaning Egyptian coins could not legally circulate outside the province, nor could Roman silver enter it freely. This arrangement, inherited from the Ptolemies and maintained through the imperial period, kept Egypt's monetary supply under tight administrative control from the prefect's office in Alexandria.
The Emmett 1390.18 attribution places this among a well-documented regnal year, with Dattari 2919 specimens known from early 20th-century Cairo hoards.
