| Reverse description | Standing full-length figure of Elpis (the personification of Hope), facing left, draped in a long chiton and himation, raising her right hand to lift the hem of her garment in the characteristic Elpis gesture, and holding a flower in her left hand. The figure is rendered in a frontal, hieratic style typical of Alexandrian bronze coinage. The field is plain, with the regnal year inscription to the left. The coin exhibits a dark brown patina with areas of green encrustation consistent with prolonged burial. |
