| Reverse description | A griffin seated to the right dominates the field, its wings partially raised and its leonine body rendered with careful detail typical of Alexandrian bronze coinage. The creature's right forepaw rests firmly upon a spoked wheel, a device associated with solar and chthonic symbolism in the Hellenistic Egyptian tradition. The date regnal legend L ΙΔ (Year 14) appears in the field, precisely dating the issue to the 14th regnal year of Antoninus Pius. The flan is broad and slightly irregular, consistent with Alexandrian mint practice of the period. |
