| Reverse description | The god Nilus personified reclines to the left atop a crocodile, the emblematic creature of the Nile river, serving as his support. He holds a tall reed stalk in his raised right hand and a cornucopia overflowing with produce in his left arm, symbolizing the river's life-giving fertility and abundance. The figure is rendered semi-recumbent in a relaxed, languid pose with drapery flowing beneath him, characteristic of the Alexandrian allegorical tradition. A ground line is visible beneath the composition. The regnal year date appears in the field to the upper left. |
