| Reverse description | A frontal view of an Egyptian-style temple with two prominent pylons flanking a central gateway, enclosing a standing cult statue of Isis holding a sceptre. The architectural rendering faithfully evokes the monumental pylon gateways characteristic of Egyptian sacred precincts, conveying the syncretistic religious milieu of Roman Alexandria. The statue of the goddess is depicted frontally between the pylons, emphasising her central cultic role. The regnal date legend appears in the field, anchoring the type precisely within Trajan's Alexandrian reckoning. The overall composition reflects the high-quality die engraving associated with the Alexandrian mint's larger bronze denominations. |
