| Reverse description | Bust of Sarapis facing right, wearing the distinctive kalathos (modius crown) atop a radiate crown combined with the horn of Ammon, reflecting the syncretic nature of the deity as worshipped in Ptolemaic and Roman Egypt. To the right of the bust, a trident entwined with a serpent serves as an attribute symbol. The composition is characteristic of Alexandrian tetradrachm-style iconography applied to large bronze coinage, emphasizing the civic and religious significance of Sarapis as a patron deity of Alexandria. |
