Reverse description The seated figure of Ammon, shown facing left, wearing a solar disk atop his head, enthroned on a backless throne. The deity holds a purse in one outstretched hand and a sceptre in the other, attributes emblematic of divine authority and beneficence. At his feet, a ram crowned with a solar disk is depicted, reinforcing Ammon's syncretistic identity as a ram-headed deity. The regnal date appears in the field in Greek numerals. The overall composition reflects the blending of Egyptian and Hellenistic religious iconography typical of Alexandrian provincial bronzes.
