| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare-headed and draped bust of Pertinax Junior (Caesar) facing right, rendered in the provincial Alexandrian style. The youthful effigy is shown from the front perspective with drapery over the left shoulder. The circular Greek legend ΚΑΙϹΑΡ ΠΕΡΤΙΝΑΞ runs around the bust within a beaded border. The coin's irregular flan and surface patina are characteristic of Alexandrian billon tetradrachm coinage of the Severan transitional period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Pertinax's reign lasted 87 days. The Alexandrian mint, operating on its own regnal-year calendar, managed to strike coins acknowledging him before his murder by the Praetorian Guard in March 193 — all of them falling within Year 1, making a Year 2 issue a chronological impossibility. The provincial billon fabric of Egyptian tetradrachms differs markedly from Roman silver of the same period, the alloy having degraded so severely by the late second century that "billon" is generous.
