| Beschrijving keerzijde | Laureate and cuirassed bust of Titus facing right, depicted as co-ruler and heir apparent, rendered in the Alexandrian provincial tradition. The military cuirass is visible at the truncation, lending an imperial and martial character to the portrait. The surrounding circular legend ΦΛΑΥΙ ΟΥΕΣΠΑΣΙΑΝΟΣ ΚΑΙΣ identifies Titus by his full Flavian nomenclature, underscoring the dynastic propaganda of the newly established Flavian house. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Struck in the first year of Vespasian's reign, this Alexandrian billon tetradrachm belongs to a politically charged moment: Egypt was the province from which Vespasian launched his bid for power, and the Alexandrian mint was among the first to recognize him as emperor — before Rome itself had formally done so. The prefect of Egypt, Tiberius Julius Alexander, declared for Vespasian on July 1, 69 AD, a date Vespasian himself later treated as his dies imperii.
Alexandria operated under a closed currency system, meaning provincials were required to exchange Roman coinage for local issues at the city's exchange banks — a mechanism that generated direct revenue for the imperial administration.
