背面描述	The syncretic deity Harpocrates depicted with a crocodile body, standing left, raising the right index finger to his lips in his characteristic gesture of silence and mystery, while holding a cornucopia in the left arm. An altar appears to the left of the figure. The design reflects the distinctly Egyptianising religious iconography prevalent on Alexandrian tetradrachms and bronze issues, blending indigenous Egyptian cult imagery with Hellenistic artistic conventions. The regnal date appears in the field in Greek numerals.

附加信息	Year 16 of Trajan's reign saw Alexandria's mint operating under the Egyptian regnal dating system — a bureaucratic holdover from Ptolemaic practice that Rome never bothered to abolish. This is a large-module bronze, and the Alexandrian mint was producing these at a moment when Trajan was deep in preparations for the Parthian campaign that would begin in 114 AD, diverting administrative and financial attention eastward. Provincial Egyptian coinage continued largely on its own inertia during this period, supervised by the prefect rather than any central Roman monetary authority.
