Reverse description The sacred Apis bull striding to the right, depicted in profile with the characteristic solar disc between its horns and a crescent moon symbol on its flank, both emblems of the bull's divine solar and lunar associations in Egyptian religious tradition. Before the bull stands a small altar, a common cultic accessory in Alexandrian religious iconography. The Apis bull type was a recurring and prestigious reverse design on Alexandrian bronzes, reflecting the deep integration of pharaonic religious symbolism into the imperial coinage of Roman Egypt. The regnal date legend appears in the field, marking this issue to the 19th year of Hadrian's reign.
