<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ancient coin hunter, post: 3146259, member: 87200&quot;]I found this one for a pretty reasonable price, struck as Caesar (139-161) and continues my recent trend of focusing on coins of Alexandria. Though worn, I found the appearance pleasing. The Alexandrian coins of Aurelius are not as common as those of Hadrian and Antoninus Pius. Plus, the acquisition means that I now have an example of each of the five &quot;good emperors&quot;. Please post any Aurelius&#039; coins of Egypt or other Imperial coins that you like.</p><p><br /></p><p>Type: AE Drachm, 33mm, 22.95 grams</p><p><br /></p><p>Obverse: Bare headed and draped bust of Aurelius right</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; M AVPHLIOC KAICAP</p><p><br /></p><p>Reverse: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elpis" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elpis" rel="nofollow">Elpis</a> Standing left holding flower and hitching skirt</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; LEND EKATOV</p><p><br /></p><p>Reference: BMC 1238 listed as &quot;rare&quot; by R.A.
