| Beschrijving keerzijde | Dikaiosyne (Aequitas), the personification of Justice, standing facing with head turned to the left, holding a pair of scales in her right hand and a cornucopia in her left. The figure is rendered in flowing garments in the characteristic Alexandrian provincial style. The date regnal formula appears in the field, with the letter L (regnal year symbol) to the left and Α (year 1) to the right, indicating the first year of Lucius Verus's reign as co-emperor. The reverse field is worn but the composition remains legible. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
161 AD marks the accession year of Marcus Aurelius, who assumed power jointly with Lucius Verus — the first true co-emperorship in Roman history. Alexandria's mint responded quickly, producing billon tetradrachms on the Egyptian calendar system, meaning this piece dates to Year 1 of the new reign by local reckoning. The Egyptian provincial mint operated on a distinct monetary system entirely separate from Rome's, with tetradrachms intended solely for circulation within Egypt and not accepted elsewhere in the empire.
