| 裏面の説明 | Zeus enthroned to the left, his muscular torso nude and lower body draped, extending a patera in his right hand and holding a long sceptre upright in his left. An eagle stands attendant to the left of the throne, facing right. The regnal date L Δ (Year 4) appears in the field, corresponding to the fourth year of Gordian III's reign in the Alexandrian calendar. The composition follows the canonical Alexandrian reverse type for this period, with a beaded border encircling the design. |

This tetradrachm belongs to Regnal Year 4 of Gordian III, struck at the Alexandria mint during a period when the Egyptian coinage had been administratively isolated from the rest of the Roman monetary system for over two centuries. The billon content by this point had degraded substantially from the old Ptolemaic silver standard — Alexandria's tetradrachms were effectively fiduciary tokens, their acceptance enforced by the closed currency system that prevented their export from Egypt.
Köln 2650 and Milne 3586 align on this type without significant die discrepancy, suggesting a reasonably stable production run for Year 4.
