Eagle standing left with closed wings, the right leg forward, holding wreath in beak, palm branch behind, LI B (date) across fields. Dattari-Savio pl. 285, 5818 (this coin). Emmett 4035. Nice light toning patina with highlights. Extremely Fine. Extremely rare. Ex Giovanni Dattari Collection 5869. Ex Naville Numismatics Ltd. 44, 04.11.2018, lot 350. This tetradrachm of the last Alexandrian coinage comes from the Dattari collection, too. The qualifications of the two previous specimens are repeated here, with the addition of the absolute rarity. The emperor’s portrait is almost realistic and sharp and larger than the average of the recurring profiles of his tetradrachms.
