This piece was minted for Roman Egypt during the short reign of
     Tacitus, who ruled from 275-276 AD. 
The obverse of this piece depicts the laureate and draped
     bust of Tacitus facing right, with Greek legends A.K.KL.TAKI
     TOS.SEB. The reverse features Dikaiosyne (Aequitas) standing
     left, holding scales and cornucopiae, with regnal year ETOVC.A.
     in the fields. This denotes the piece as having been minted in
     Year One of the reign of Tacitus. Coin grades a good VF, with
     bold devices and legends all around, and attractive glossy
     surfaces. A very choice example of the scarcer Egyptian coinage
     of Tacitus, this coin is catalouged as Milne 4489.
