| Reverse description | An eagle stands facing left with wings spread, head turned to the right, rendered in the characteristic Alexandrian style with finely detailed feathering across the body and wings. The eagle holds a wreath or palm frond in its beak. In the left field, a palm branch or caduceus is visible, while to the right the regnal year is indicated by the letter L (denoting 'year' in the Alexandrian dating system) followed by A (alpha, signifying Year 1 of Claudius II's reign). A faint Greek inscription runs along the upper border of the coin. The composition reflects the standard reverse type employed for Alexandrian tetradrachms throughout the third century AD. |
