| Reverse description | The goddess Isis Pharia is depicted striding to the right in dynamic pose, her robes billowing behind her in the wind; she holds a sistrum in her raised right hand and grasps an inflated sail with her left, evoking her role as protectress of mariners and patron of the Alexandrian harbour. To the right stands the Pharos of Alexandria, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, rendered as a multi-tiered lighthouse with a beacon visible at its summit. The regnal date legend L ΚΑ appears in the field, denoting Year 21 of Hadrian's reign according to the Alexandrian calendar. The composition is a celebrated type in Alexandrian provincial coinage, celebrating the city's maritime identity and religious traditions. |
