Beschrijving keerzijde A Canopus jar depicted facing right, shown in the characteristic Alexandrian style as a rounded vessel with a human or divine head as a stopper and decorative bands around the body. The Canopic jar was a sacred Egyptian funerary symbol associated with the god Osiris-Canopus, frequently employed on Alexandrian coinage as a symbol of Egypt's religious identity. The regnal year date appears in the field flanking the figure. The design is rendered in relatively high relief typical of early Antonine provincial issues from Alexandria.

Aanvullende informatie

Year 2 of Antoninus Pius's reign — his first full regnal year in Egypt — coincided with the new emperor's immediate effort to distance himself from Hadrian's more abrasive provincial policies. The Alexandrian mint, operating under Roman prefectural authority, resumed normal production after the disruptions of Hadrian's final years, though output attributable to this precise regnal year remains sparse in surviving collections.
