| Additional information |
Nothing historically substantive can be said about this specific replica without knowing its maker, date of manufacture, or the prototype it reproduces. Nero's Alexandrian tetradrachms were struck in billon at the imperial mint in Alexandria, part of a closed currency system that kept Roman Egypt economically isolated from the rest of the empire. The prototype is interesting. This object is not a coin.
