| Reverse description | Nilus personified reclines left, a crocodile at his side, holding a tall cornucopia from which a small Genius emerges bearing a wreath; in his other hand he holds a reed. The regnal year date ΙϚ (year 13) appears in the upper field. The composition exemplifies the quintessential Alexandrian reverse type celebrating the Nile's fertility and the prosperity of Roman Egypt, rendered with the fluid, somewhat informal style characteristic of the local mint's bronze coinage. |
