Reverse description A sacred hawk (falcon of Horus), a deeply symbolic Egyptian divinity, depicted standing and facing right with wings folded and tail feathers spread, rendered in the characteristic flat provincial style. The date regnal legend appears in the field to the left of the bird. The plain field surrounding the figure emphasises the centrality of this potent religious emblem within the Alexandrian coinage tradition.
