| Beschrijving keerzijde | Bust of Athena facing right, clad in the aegis and wearing a Corinthian helmet with a griffin beneath the crest, rendered in the classical Hellenistic tradition favored by the Alexandrian mint. A palm branch appears to the right of the bust, a standard reverse accessory on Alexandrian tetradrachms of this era. The regnal date legend L ΙΑ (Year 11) appears in the field, confirming the coin's issue in the eleventh year of Severus Alexander's reign, corresponding to 231–232 AD. The overall style reflects the distinctive provincial coinage of Roman Egypt. |

Alexandria's billon tetradrachms of Severus Alexander's reign were struck under the distinctive Egyptian regnal year system, this piece dated to year 11 (ΙΑ), corresponding to 231–232 AD — the period when Alexander was preparing his Persian campaign against the resurgent Sassanid dynasty under Ardashir I. The Egyptian mint operated with considerable autonomy from Rome, maintaining its own fabric, iconography, and dating conventions well into the third century.
Dattari 4278 is among the better-documented die references for this regnal year, catalogued from the enormous Dattari collection assembled in Alexandria around the turn of the twentieth century — still the foundational reference for this series.
