Reverse description The sacred bull Apis stands in profile to the right, rendered with compact musculature and a characteristic hump, a disc or solar symbol visible between its horns as is typical for Apis representations on provincial coinage. The animal is depicted in full body on a plain ground line. The Greek civic legend is distributed in the field to the right and along the lower margin, identifying the issuing city and the divine subject. The overall composition reflects the Hellenistic religious tradition of honouring the Egyptian deity Apis within a Greek civic context.
