背面描述	Draped bust of the god Sarapis facing right, wearing the distinctive kalathos (modius or grain basket) atop his head, with a laurel wreath also indicated. The deity's long, elaborately braided beard and flowing drapery are rendered in a style characteristic of Alexandrian religious iconography. Sarapis, the syncretic Graeco-Egyptian deity closely associated with Alexandria and its famous Serapeum, is presented here as a divine counterpart to the imperial obverse portrait. The regnal date legend appears in the field, denoting Year 19 of Antoninus Pius's reign.

附加信息	Year 19 of Antoninus Pius's reign, which is what the L ΙΘ date signifies — Alexandria dated its provincial bronze by regnal year rather than by Roman consular convention, a bookkeeping habit inherited from Ptolemaic administrative practice that survived well into the third century. This issue belongs to the densest period of Alexandrian civic bronze production under Pius, whose reign generated an unusually systematic annual coinage that modern scholars have used as a chronological anchor for the entire provincial series.
