Alexandrian billon tetradrachm (i.e. a base silver 4 drachma coin struck in Alexandria in Egypt). These coins were issued under the Roman emperors for (roughly) the first 3 centuries AD, getting progressively baser and smaller. These coins usually have the bust of an emperor (occasionally a wife or son) on the obverse and assorted Classical or Egyptianising themes on the reverse. They exist because the emperors treated Egypt like a private estate and it kept its own currency system right through to the 290's
