| Beschrijving voorzijde | Draped and cuirassed bust of Lucius Verus, laureate, facing right, with paludamentum visible at shoulder. The emperor is depicted in military attire, with the cuirass rendered in detail consistent with Alexandrian provincial coinage of the Antonine period. The encircling legend names the emperor in Greek characters. The portrait style reflects the characteristic workshop conventions of the Alexandrian mint under the joint reign of Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus. |

This tetradrachm was struck in the second year of Marcus Aurelius's reign as sole emperor — a reign that began only because Antoninus Pius died in March 161, leaving both Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus as co-emperors in an unprecedented dual succession. The Alexandrian mint responded quickly to the dynastic change, issuing coinage for both new rulers within the same regnal year. Milne's sequence places this piece early in that transition.
The billon content by this period had already degraded well below earlier imperial standards, a slow debasement that would accelerate sharply under later Antonine pressure.
