| 裏面の説明 | Draped bust of Poppaea Augusta facing right, her hair elaborately dressed in the fashionable nodus style with long falling tresses at the back, a characteristic portrait feature of this empress on Alexandrian coinage. She is depicted bare-necked with a drapery over the shoulder. The Greek legend surrounding the bust identifies her as Poppaea Sebaste, with the regnal year ΙΑ (year 11, corresponding to 64/65 CE) indicated by the Egyptian date prefix L. The reverse serves as a dynastic statement, presenting Poppaea on equal visual footing with Nero on the obverse. |

Poppaea Sabina appears on Alexandrian coinage only briefly — she died in 65 AD, and ancient sources, including Suetonius and Tacitus, attribute her death to a kick from Nero himself, possibly while she was pregnant. The joint portrait tetradrachms of this regnal year are therefore among the last struck bearing her likeness, produced in the same Egyptian fiscal year as her death.
Alexandria's billon tetradrachms of this period were the dominant currency of Roman Egypt, a closed monetary system in which only locally-minted coinage was legal tender — imported silver was confiscated and reminted at a profit to the imperial treasury.
