| Reverse description | An eagle depicted standing to the right with head turned back to the left, wings spread in the typical Alexandrian numismatic convention. The regnal year date appears in the field or exergue. The type echoes the sacred bird of Zeus frequently employed on Alexandrian provincial coinage as a symbol of imperial authority and divine favour. Surface wear and heavy patination render the finer details of the plumage largely indistinct. |
