| Reverse description | Two Canopic jars (canopi) of Osiris depicted facing, side by side, each resting upon a common rectangular base or altar. The left canopus bears a distinctive human or jackal-headed finial, while the right canopus is surmounted by a separate emblematic device; both vessels display the characteristic ovoid body typical of Alexandrian religious iconography. The date legend L ΙϚ appears in the field, denoting regnal year 16 of Trajan's reign according to the Alexandrian calendar. The composition reflects the deeply syncretic Greco-Egyptian religious character of Alexandrian civic coinage under Roman imperial rule. |
