| Beschrijving keerzijde | Draped bust of Nilus facing right, crowned with a taenia and lotus-buds, the personification rendered in the characteristic Alexandrian provincial style. A reed is depicted at the shoulder, while before the bust appears a cornucopia from which emerges a small Genius holding a wreath, symbolizing the fertility and abundance of the Nile. The regnal date legend L ΙΘ (Year 19) appears in the field, corresponding to the nineteenth year of Antoninus Pius's reign (155–156 AD). The reverse composition reflects the strong Egyptianizing iconographic tradition of the Alexandrian mint. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Year 19 of Antoninus Pius's reign — rendered as L ΙΘ in the Alexandrian dating system — fell during a period of exceptional administrative stability in Egypt. Antoninus never visited the province, yet his 23-year reign produced more Alexandrian tetradrachm types than almost any other emperor, a reflection of the mint's prolific output under a government that ran, for once, without crisis. The billon alloy by this point had already degraded significantly from the near-pure silver of earlier imperial issues, a debasement that accelerated sharply under his successors.
