| Reverse description | The Canopus jar of Osiris depicted facing right, presented as a rounded vessel surmounted by the head of a hawk or falcon, symbolizing the syncretism of Egyptian and Greco-Roman religious traditions. The Canopus, a distinctly Alexandrian religious emblem, is rendered in profile and occupies the central field. To the right, the regnal date legend L Δ (Year 4) is inscribed, situating the issue firmly within Vespasian's reign. The reverse design reflects the deeply Egyptian iconographic tradition maintained in Alexandrian civic coinage under Roman imperial authority. |
