| Reverse description | A bunch of grapes depicted in the central field, serving as the nome badge identifying the Sebennyte nome of Lower Egypt. The type is characteristic of the Alexandrian nome coinage issued under Hadrian, with the regnal year and nome designation rendered in Greek characters flanking the central device. The flan is irregular and the surfaces show heavy patination consistent with ancient bronze coinage of this series. |
