| Beschrijving keerzijde | Eagle standing left with head turned to the right, holding a wreath in its beak, rendered in the bold provincial style typical of Alexandrian tetradrachms. The regnal year indicator, rendered as the Greek letter L followed by B (year 2), appears in the left and right fields respectively, flanking the eagle. The composition is dynamic, with the eagle's wings partially spread and its powerful talons visible on the ground line. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Claudius II died of plague in August or September of 270, making his Alexandrian tetradrachms a product of an unusually short reign — roughly two years. The Alexandria mint under Roman imperial control had long operated on its own billon and then increasingly debased bronze standard, largely isolated from western mint practice. By the time of Claudius II, the silver content in these tetradrachms had effectively collapsed to a surface wash over bronze cores.
Milne 4248 corresponds to year 1 of his reign. The Egyptian regnal year system means pieces can be dated with more precision than most provincial issues of the period.
