| Obverse lettering | Μ ΑΥΡΗ]ΛΙΟϹ ΚΑΙϹΑΡ (Translation: Marcus Aurelius Caesar) |
| Reverse description | Standing figure of Harsomtous-Heracles, a syncretic Egyptian-Greek deity associated with the Prosopites nome, depicted facing with head turned to the left. The deity wears the Egyptian nemes-headscarf surmounted by the composite hem-hem crown, and raises one finger to the lips in the characteristic gesture of the Harpocrates type, while the opposite hand holds a club, referencing his Heraclean identity. The nome legend and regnal year appear in the field. The composition reflects the distinctive blending of Egyptian and Hellenistic iconographic traditions characteristic of Alexandrian provincial coinage. |
