| Reverse description | Depiction of the Pharos of Alexandria, the celebrated lighthouse of antiquity, rendered as a multi-tiered tower rising from a base structure. The lighthouse is shown in a schematic frontal view with architectural details suggesting the lower rectangular stage and upper cylindrical section, surmounted by a dome or finial. A small figure, possibly Triton or a deity, appears at the base of the structure. The regnal date appears in the field, with the flan surfaces heavily worn and the legend only partially preserved. |
