| Reverse description | The Pharos of Alexandria depicted as a multi-tiered tower rising from a base, with a standing statue surmounting the uppermost tier, identified as Poseidon or Zeus. Smaller statues or tritons are rendered on the intermediate platform, flanking the central lighthouse structure. The composition faithfully represents one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World as it appeared in antiquity, and constitutes one of the primary numismatic sources for the monument's appearance. The regnal date L Γ (Year 3) appears in the field, divided to left and right of the tower. |
