| Beschrijving keerzijde | The personification of Kratesis (Victory or Conquest) stands facing left, rendered as a draped female figure. She holds a small Nike (winged Victory) figure in her outstretched right hand and a military trophy in her left hand, symbolising imperial power and martial triumph. The reverse legend ΚΡΑΤΗΣΙΣ (meaning 'Conquest' or 'Power') appears in the field, a type unique to the Alexandrian coinage of Otho and emblematic of the short-lived emperor's claim to supreme authority. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Otho ruled for just 91 days before his suicide at Bedriacum in April 69 AD, making any coinage struck in his name exceptionally brief in issue window. The Alexandrian mint, which operated on a closed currency system requiring all Egyptian commerce to use local tetradrachms, moved quickly to strike in his name — but production was cut short by Vitellius's accession and the political chaos of the Year of the Four Emperors. The ΚΡΑΤΗΣΙΣ reverse type, referencing the concept of power or dominion, appears on only a handful of Othonian Alexandrian varieties.
