| Reverse description | Draped bust of Alexandria facing right, wearing the distinctive elephant-scalp headdress characteristic of this city goddess as depicted on Alexandrian provincial coinage. The personification is rendered with careful attention to the emblematic headgear that identifies the figure as the tutelary deity of the city. The Greek date legend appears in the field, recording the regnal year of issue. The overall style is consistent with the Alexandrian mint's workmanship under Domitian. |
