| Reverse description | A bull charging and butting to the right, depicted in vigorous relief typical of Alexandrian provincial coinage of the first century AD. The legend ΑΥΤΟΚΡΑ is distributed in the upper field above the animal, while the regnal year date L Γ (year 3, corresponding to 42-43 AD) appears in the exergue or lower field below. The bull type is associated with the Apis cult, reflecting the Egyptianizing religious iconography favored by the Alexandrian mint. |
