| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate head of Emperor Nero facing right, with finely rendered hair beneath the laurel wreath and a youthful, idealized portrait. The legend surrounds the effigy in Greek characters, reading ΝΕΡΩ ΚΛΑΥ ΚΑΙΣ ΣΕΒΑ ΓΕΡ ΑΥΤΟ, abbreviating his full imperial titulature as customary on Alexandrian coinage. The flan is irregular, typical of hammered provincial tetradrachms of this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
This tetradrachm dates to regnal year 4 of Nero's reign, when Agrippina the Younger still appeared on Alexandrian coinage — a situation that would not last. Within a year or two, her image was systematically dropped from the Egyptian mint's output, almost certainly reflecting the deteriorating relationship between mother and son that culminated in her murder in 59 AD. Alexandria was one of the last mints in the empire still issuing coins that paired their portraits, making this provincial series an unusually direct document of that political rupture.
