背面描述	An eagle, the emblematic type of Alexandrian tetradrachms, stands facing on a thunderbolt with wings spread wide, its head turned to the left. This powerful Jovian symbol, associated with both Zeus and imperial apotheosis, is rendered in the bold, somewhat schematic style typical of Alexandrian billon tetradrachms of the Antonine period. The regnal date legend L Ζ (Year 7) appears in the field, confirming the issue to the seventh year of Antoninus Pius's reign, corresponding to AD 143–144.

附加信息	Year seven of Antoninus Pius's reign fell during a period of unusual stability in Roman Egypt — no revolt, no flood crisis, no currency reform. The billon tetradrachm continued as Alexandria's workhorse denomination, its silver content already debased well below early imperial standards by this point, a slow degradation that had been underway since Nero's currency manipulations in the 60s AD. The Alexandrian mint operated under tight imperial oversight, with types changed annually in ways that allow precise regnal-year attribution rare in provincial coinage.
