| Reverse description | Harpocrates, the Egyptian child deity, enthroned to the left upon a lotus flower, wearing the elaborate hem-hem crown atop his head. The god raises his right hand with fingers extended to his lips in his characteristic gesture of silence or childhood, while his left hand holds a lotus stem. The composition reflects the syncretic Greco-Egyptian religious iconography prevalent in Alexandrian coinage, blending Hellenistic artistic convention with indigenous Egyptian divine imagery. |
