| Reverse description | Full-length figure of the ram-headed deity Khnum (Khnoum) striding rightward in the classic ancient Egyptian profile convention, depicted in high relief against a deeply mirrored proof field.

In his right hand he holds a was-sceptre, and in his left a small ankh. The figure stands on a ground line, and the surrounding border features an alternating dash-and-bead decorative inner rim. The legend GOD KHNOUM appears in Latin script to the upper right, with the Arabic equivalent خنوم to the left. |
