| Reverse description | The reverse depicts Harpocrates, the Hellenized Egyptian god of silence and secrets, seated facing left atop a stylized lotus flower. The deity raises the fingers of his right hand to his lips in his characteristic gesture of silence, while his left hand holds a lotus sceptre. The regnal date legend L Β appears in the field, denoting the second year of Antoninus Pius's reign, in keeping with the Alexandrian dating convention. |
