Reverse description Euthenia, the personification of prosperity and abundance, reclining left atop a sphinx. She holds ears of corn and poppies in her right hand and a sistrum or lotus-flower in her left, attributes emblematic of Egyptian fertility and the Nile's bounty. The composition is characteristic of Alexandrian civic iconography, linking imperial prosperity to Egypt's agricultural abundance. The regnal year is inscribed in the field. The sphinx beneath the figure further underscores the distinctly Egyptian character of this provincial issue.
