| Beschrijving keerzijde | Jugate busts of Sarapis and Isis conjoined, facing left, set at centre within a double circular border formed by the twelve signs of the zodiac arranged anticlockwise with Aries positioned at the top, each zodiacal sign occupying a precisely defined segment between the two concentric rings. The composition is a rare and sophisticated astrological design reflecting the syncretic religious imagery characteristic of Alexandrian coinage under the Antonines. Sarapis is distinguished by his modius headdress, while Isis bears her characteristic crown. The overall design conveys the cosmic sovereignty of the Egyptian deities as understood within the Greco-Roman theological framework of the period. |

This piece dates to Year 8 of Antoninus Pius's reign by the Alexandrian reckoning — the Egyptian provincial mint operated on its own calendar, with the regnal year resetting each 29 Thoth. Alexandria was the only Roman provincial mint authorized to strike large bronze coinage of this module for Egyptian circulation, a closed currency system that required travelers entering Egypt to exchange Roman coin for local issues at the border.
