| Reverse description | Young Horus of Mesen (Harpokrates-in-military-guise) depicted standing to the left, wearing the double crown (pschent) and military attire, holding a spear upright in his right hand while his left hand raises the chlamys. A lion recumbent to the left occupies the lower left field at the deity's feet, referencing the leonine associations of the Sethroite nome. The composition combines Egyptian religious iconography with Hellenistic artistic conventions in the tradition of Alexandrian provincial coinage. The reverse legend identifies the nome and regnal year. |
