Beschrijving voorzijde Laureate bust of Antoninus Pius facing left, draped in paludamentum, with the imperial mantle fastened at the right shoulder. The effigy displays the emperor's characteristic mature features with a full beard. The encircling Greek legend reads ΑΝΤωΝΙΝΟϹ ϹΕΒ ΕΥϹΕΒ, identifying the emperor with his epithet Eusebes (Pious). The style is consistent with Alexandrian provincial coinage of the mid-second century AD.

Beschrijving keerzijde Draped bust of Nilus facing right, the personification of the sacred river, crowned with a taenia and lotus buds, with a cornucopia visible at the shoulder. The regnal year ΙϚ appears above the cornucopia. The reverse legend L ΙΔ in the field denotes regnal year 14 of Antoninus Pius (150–151 AD), following standard Alexandrian dating convention. The style reflects the fine artistic tradition of the Alexandrian mint in portraying Egyptian deities within the Roman imperial idiom.

Aanvullende informatie

Year 14 of Antoninus Pius's reign — rendered in the dating formula as L ΙΔ — places this issue precisely in 150/151 AD, a moment of administrative stability in Roman Egypt so complete that the Alexandria mint was producing tetradrachms in longer, more consistent series than at almost any other point in the imperial period. Antoninus never visited Egypt, nor any province during his entire reign, the only emperor of the first two centuries to govern the empire without leaving Italy.
