| Aversbeschreibung | Laureate bust of the usurper Domitianus facing right, depicted with short hair and strong facial features characteristic of late third-century Roman portraiture. The legend ΔOMITI-ANOΣ ΣEB arcs around the effigy in Greek script, identifying the usurper with the epithet Sebastos (Augustus). The bust is rendered in a bold, somewhat provincial style consistent with Alexandrian mint production of the period. |

| Reversbeschreibung | Nike, the goddess of victory, stands facing with her head turned to the left. Her extended right hand proffers a wreath, while her left hand holds a palm frond, both attributes symbolic of military triumph. The regnal year date LB (Year 2) appears in the field, serving as the primary chronological indicator for this Alexandrian tetradrachm issue, consistent with the brief usurpation of Domitianus in Egypt during 297–298 CE. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Domitian II is one of the most contested figures in late Roman numismatics — for decades, the sole known specimen was suspected to be a forgery, and scholars argued the man himself may never have existed. A hoard discovered in Egypt in 2003 settled the question, producing multiple examples and confirming a genuine, if extremely brief, usurpation against Diocletian during the turbulent period just before the tetrarchic reconquest of Egypt under Galerius in 298 AD.
The Emmett 4246.2 classification places this among the rarest Egyptian tetradrachms of the entire Roman series.
