| Reverse description | Veiled Demeter standing facing, head turned to left, her figure presented in a frontal pose characteristic of Alexandrian civic reverses. She holds ears of grain in one hand and a long torch in the other, attributes emblematic of her role as goddess of the harvest and of the mysteries. The pairing of Demeter with the regnal year date reflects the Alexandrian mint's practice of issuing annual coinage. The composition is simple and devotional, set within an open field with the date legend placed prominently. The style is consistent with mid-second century Alexandrian provincial bronzes. |
