| Reverse description | Isis Pharia striding right, her garments billowing behind her as she holds an inflated sail with both hands; a sistrum is also associated with her figure. In the right field stands the Pharos of Alexandria, depicted as a multi-tiered lighthouse, one of the iconic reverse types of Alexandrian coinage. The date regnal legend L ΤΡΙΤΟΥ appears in the field, denoting the third year of Antoninus Pius's reign. The scene is rendered in the fluid, eclectic Graeco-Egyptian artistic tradition characteristic of the Alexandrian mint. |
