| Reverse description | Standing figure of Elpis (the personification of Hope) advancing to the left, rendered in the conventional Alexandrian provincial style. She raises her right hand holding a flower or blossom upward, while her left hand gathers and lifts the hem of her long chiton, exposing her feet. The field to the left bears the regnal date formula L Β (Year 2), corresponding to the second year of Probus's reign. The figure is rendered with flowing drapery typical of late third-century Alexandrian coinage. |
