| Reverse description | A classical temple façade with two columns frames the standing figure of Sarapis, depicted facing with head turned to the left, his right hand resting upon a small shrine or naiskos and his left hand holding a long sceptre. The syncretic deity is shown in his characteristic Hellenistic iconography, reflecting Alexandria's prominent cult of Sarapis. The regnal date appears in the field, confirming the issue to the third year of Hadrian's reign. The reverse composition is typical of Alexandrian provincial coinage, blending Egyptian religious imagery with Greco-Roman artistic conventions. |
