| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate, cuirassed and paludamentum-draped bust of Emperor Marcus Aurelius facing right, rendered from a rear three-quarter perspective. The emperor's portrait displays characteristic Antonine physiognomy with a short beard and curled hair beneath the laurel wreath. The encircling obverse legend in Greek characters identifies the emperor by name and titles, running around the periphery of the flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
This tetradrachm dates to the second regnal year of Marcus Aurelius as sole emperor — the first full year following the death of Antoninus Pius in March 161. What made that transition unusual was Marcus Aurelius's immediate insistence on elevating Lucius Verus as co-emperor, the first time Rome had operated under a formal dyarchy. Alexandrian civic coinage had to navigate that political novelty quickly, producing parallel series for both rulers from the outset.
The Egyptian mint dated coins by regnal year rather than consular dating, making Alexandria's output one of the more precise chronological anchors in the broader Antonine series.
