| Beschrijving keerzijde | The sacred boat (baris) of Sarapis depicted in profile, oars visible along the hull. Enthroned at centre is Sarapis, seated left, holding a long sceptre; Cerberus crouches at his feet, and a small figure of Nike stands or perches on the throne. To the left, veiled Demeter stands facing left, holding ears of grain and a tall torch. To the right, Isis-Tyche stands facing left, wearing the basileion (crown of Isis), holding a rudder and cornucopia; an uncertain reclining figure wearing a kalathos appears at the far right. The composition reflects the syncretic religious iconography characteristic of Alexandrian civic coinage under the Antonines. |

Year 24 of Antoninus Pius's reign — rendered as L ΚΔ in the Alexandrian regnal dating system — places this issue in the final year before his death in March 161 AD. The Alexandria mint operated under a distinct civic coinage system, administratively separate from the imperial Roman mint, producing bronze for circulation exclusively within Egypt under the closed currency zone Rome enforced there. Coins struck outside Egypt could not legally enter; Egyptian issues could not legally leave. That policy kept Alexandrian bronzes in intensive local circulation, which explains the near-universal heavy wear on surviving specimens.
