| Aanvullende informatie |
Year 8 of Antoninus Pius's reign, which places this tetradrachm in the middle of his notably stable 23-year rule — a period when Alexandria's mint was producing at high volume to supply one of the empire's most monetarily active provinces. Egypt operated as a closed currency zone under Roman administration, meaning imported silver coinage was exchanged at the border and provincial tetradrachms circulated exclusively within Egypt. Coins like this one never legally left the country during their working life.
