(Translation: Emperor Caesar Trajan Hadrian Augustus)
Reverse description The Agathodaemon serpent, a tutelary deity of Alexandria, depicted erect and coiled, facing right, with the modius-crowned head of Sarapis atop its body. The serpent entwines two ears of grain (wheat), symbolizing the fertility and prosperity of Egypt. The regnal year date appears in the field. The composition reflects the deeply syncretic religious iconography characteristic of Alexandrian civic coinage under Roman imperial rule.
