| Reverse description | The sacred Apis bull strides to the right, depicted with a solar disk between its horns, symbolising the divine syncretism of Egyptian and Greco-Roman religious tradition. An altar stands before the bull in the left field, referencing the cultic veneration of Apis at Memphis. The regnal date legend L Ϛ (Year 6) appears in the field, dating the issue to the sixth year of Antoninus Pius's reign in the Egyptian calendar (142–143 AD). |
