| Reverse description | The Agathodaemon serpent depicted erect and rearing, with wings spread, its sinuous coiled body prominently filling the field. The serpent faces right and is crowned with the skhent (double crown of Upper and Lower Egypt), a distinctly Alexandrian religious symbol identifying the deity as the protective genius of Alexandria. The date regnal legend appears in the field. The design reflects the deep syncretism of Greco-Egyptian religious iconography characteristic of Alexandrian civic coinage under the Antonines. |
