| Reverse description | An eagle stands facing left with its head turned to the right, its wings closed, holding a wreath in its beak — a standard reverse type for Alexandrian tetradrachms of the Gallienus era. A palm branch appears to the left of the eagle in the field, serving as a decorative filler element. The regnal date, rendered in the Alexandrian dating system, appears to the right of the eagle as L IΓ, denoting Year 13 of Gallienus's reign, corresponding to 265-266 CE. The design is executed in the somewhat cursory style typical of late Alexandrian provincial coinage, with a broad flat flan and irregular edge. |
