It is very difficult to obtain a specimen of the smallest numeral issued by the mint of Alexandria - the bronze chalkon - precisely because of its very small size (average diameter of 1 cm and weight of about one gram), which fatally condemns it to dispersion. The example offered here is of special preservation and sharpness, displays the minimal features described above, and allows for easy recognition of the engraved images: both the very small and intact laureate imperial head on the obverse and the auspicious cornucopia on the reverse, all immersed in a limpid, original green-brown patina.
