| Reverse description | The sacred Apis bull depicted standing to the right, rendered in the schematic provincial style characteristic of Alexandrian coinage. The bull, revered as a manifestation of the god Ptah and later associated with Osiris-Apis (Serapis), is shown in profile with its distinctive attributes. Above the bull's back appears the date regnal legend. A groundline is indicated beneath the animal. The composition reflects the blending of Egyptian religious iconography with Roman imperial coinage conventions. |
