Reverse description Euthenia, the personification of prosperity and abundance, reclines to the left atop a sphinx. She holds ears of corn in one hand and a lotus flower in the other, while her peplos (garment) is filled with fruits, symbolizing the agricultural wealth of Egypt. The regnal year legend appears in the field, identifying this issue as struck in the second year of Antoninus Pius's reign. The composition reflects the Alexandrian mint's characteristic blending of Greco-Roman and Egyptian iconographic traditions.
