| Beschrijving keerzijde | Standing figure of Nike (Victory) advancing to the right, depicted with large outspread wings and draped in flowing garments. Nike holds a wreath extended forward in her right hand and a palm branch over her left shoulder, rendered in the characteristic style of Alexandrian provincial coinage. The figure is set within a plain field with the regnal year legend ΕΤΟΥϹ Γ (Year 3) positioned to the left of the figure. The reverse type follows a standard Alexandrian iconographic convention for imperial tetradrachms of the late third century, with Nike serving as a symbol of imperial victory and divine favor. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Numerian's reign lasted barely two years. He was found dead in his litter in late 284 AD — reportedly having been carried for days before anyone noticed, his generals claiming illness to conceal what most ancient sources treat as murder. This coin's regnal year dating places it squarely in that final, chaotic phase of his rule, struck at Alexandria under an emperor who may already have been a corpse when some of these pieces changed hands.
