| Beschrijving keerzijde | Homonoia, goddess of concord, depicted standing left in full figure, clad in chiton and himation. She raises her right hand in a gesture of salutation or blessing, while her left arm cradles a large double cornucopia overflowing with fruits. In the left field, the regnal year date L Ε (Year 5, corresponding to 241–242 AD) appears, serving as the sole reverse legend. The figure is rendered in the characteristic flat, linear style of Alexandrian tetradrachm coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The "L Ε" regnal year notation places this tetradrachm in Gordian III's fifth Egyptian year — 241–242 AD — a period when the young emperor, still in his teens, was effectively governed by his praetorian prefect Timesitheus, whose daughter he had married. Alexandria's imperial tetradrachms of this era were struck in billon of progressively declining silver content, part of a slow debasement that would accelerate sharply under Gallienus two decades later. The Emmett 3452.5 reference designates the specific regnal year within the series.
