| Reverse description | A sphinx reclines to the right, rendered in the Egyptian artistic tradition, with a uraeus (cobra) and solar disk atop its head, referencing the sacred iconography of Alexandria. The body of the sphinx is depicted in a naturalistic, recumbent posture with fore-paws extended. To the left of the sphinx, the regnal date legend L Β (Year 2) is inscribed in the field. The composition reflects the blending of Greco-Roman imperial imagery with indigenous Egyptian religious symbolism characteristic of Alexandrian provincial coinage. |
