| Reverse description | A kalathos (sacred basket) depicted upon a garlanded throne inclined to the left, the arms of the throne supported by birds, likely eagles, rendered in typical Alexandrian iconographic convention. The date legend appears in the field. This reverse type is characteristic of Alexandrian civic coinage of the period, combining religious and ceremonial symbolism associated with Egyptian worship. The overall composition is well-centred despite the irregular flan, with the design elements clearly discernible beneath the heavy patina. |
