| Reverse description | The famous Pharos of Alexandria depicted in schematic frontal view, showing the multi-tiered lighthouse structure with its characteristic rectangular lower storey, intermediate section, and upper cylindrical or octagonal tier surmounted by a beacon. The monument is rendered in the simplified, conventionalised style typical of Alexandrian provincial bronzes. The regnal year legend appears in the field. The Pharos, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, served as a principal reverse type on numerous Alexandrian coins, reflecting civic pride in this celebrated monument. |
