| Beschrijving keerzijde | Eagle standing to the right with head turned back to the left, holding a wreath in its beak, rendered in the bold, slightly schematic style typical of Alexandrian coinage. The bird's wings are closed and its powerful talons grip the ground line. The regnal date L ΙΔ (Year 14, corresponding to 150-151 AD) appears in the field to either side of the eagle. The reverse field is otherwise plain, with no additional symbols or exergual inscription. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Year 14 of Antoninus Pius's reign marked a period of unusual administrative stability in Roman Egypt — no military crisis, no succession anxiety, no currency reform. The Alexandria mint continued its distinctive billon tetradrachm production under tight imperial oversight, with the prefect of Egypt controlling output more directly than any other provincial mint in the empire. Milne's cataloguing of this type drew heavily on the Dattari collection, assembled by Giovanni Dattari in Cairo around the turn of the twentieth century and still the foundational reference for Alexandrian coinage of this period.
