| Reverse description | The goddess Isis, crowned with a solar disc flanked by cow horns and double plumes (an atef-style composite crown), is depicted seated to the right in a dignified, hieratic posture. Upon her knee sits the infant god Harpocrates, wearing the double crown of Egypt (pschent) and raising his right hand to his lips in his characteristic gesture of divine childhood. The composition reflects the syncretic Egypto-Hellenistic religious iconography prevalent in Alexandrian coinage, blending Greek artistic style with native Egyptian theological symbolism. The regnal date appears in the field. |
