| Obverse lettering | ΑΥΤΟΚΡΑ ΚΑΙϹ ΑΔΡ ΑΝΤωΝΙΝΟϹ (Translation: Emperor Caesar Hadrianus Antoninus) |
| Reverse description | Radiate-headed and draped bust of Sarapis Pantheos facing right, wearing the distinctive kalathos (modius) atop his head and displaying a ram's horn curling around the ear, identifying his syncretic Ammon aspect. A cornucopia appears at the shoulder, symbolising abundance, while behind the bust a trident with a serpent entwined around its shaft alludes to his dominion over the sea and underworld. The date regnal legend L Ε (Year 5) is placed in the field. The reverse design reflects the rich syncretic religious iconography characteristic of Alexandrian coinage under the Antonine dynasty. |
