| Reverse description | Draped bust of the river god Nilus facing right, crowned with a wreath of lotus-buds, with a reed visible at the shoulder. Before the bust stands a cornucopia, from which issues a small Genius figure holding a wreath. The composition is characteristic of Alexandrian coinage celebrating the fertility of the Nile, a recurring and regionally significant reverse type. The date legend L ΚΒ appears in the field, indicating regnal year 22 of Antoninus Pius. The overall style reflects the eclectic blend of Roman imperial and Egyptian iconographic traditions prevalent in Alexandrian provincial issues. |
