| Reverse description | The sacred Apis bull is depicted standing to the right in the field, bearing the solar disk between its horns — the emblematic attribute identifying the animal as the divine Apis of Memphis. An altar is placed before the bull at left. The regnal date appears in the upper field in Greek numerals. The composition is characteristic of Alexandrian religious iconography, reflecting the syncretism between Egyptian and Roman religious traditions prominent under the Antonine emperors. |
