| Reverse description | Draped bust of the syncretic deity Sarapis facing right, surmounted by the characteristic tall kalathos (modius), rendered in the Hellenistic-Egyptian artistic tradition typical of Alexandrian provincial coinage. The reverse field carries the regnal year legend L ΚΓ (Year 23), corresponding to the 23rd year of Commodus's reign in the Egyptian calendar (182–183 AD). The surface is heavily patinated and worn, with the design partially obscured by encrustation consistent with the coin's bronze composition and burial history. |
