| Reverse description | Draped bust of Nilus facing right, crowned with a taenia and lotus-buds, personifying the sacred river of Egypt. A cornucopia appears before the bust, referencing the river's agricultural abundance and fertility. The regnal date in the form of the Egyptian year numeral appears in the field, serving as the sole legend on this side. The type is characteristic of Alexandrian provincial coinage celebrating the Nile flood and prosperity. The surfaces are heavily worn with broad, flat strike typical of late Antonine Alexandrian bronzes. |
