| Beschrijving keerzijde | Isis, wearing the tripartite crown composed of a solar disc flanked by cow horns and double plumes, is depicted seated to the right on a throne. Upon her knee rests the infant Harpocrates, identified by his skhent (double crown of Egypt) and the characteristic gesture of raising one hand to his mouth. The composition evokes the protective maternal aspect of Isis and was a favoured type on Alexandrian bronze coinage, reflecting the syncretic religious culture of Roman Egypt. The date regnal year legend appears in the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Year 16 of Trajan's reign in Egypt corresponds to 112–113 AD, a period when Alexandria's mint was operating at high volume to support the emperor's Parthian campaign preparations. Egyptian regnal dating — running parallel to but distinct from the Roman calendar — was a deliberate administrative holdover from Ptolemaic practice that Rome preserved to ease provincial governance. The L ΙϚ date formula is stamped with the Greek numeral for 16, making die-year attribution on these bronzes unusually precise compared to most provincial issues.
