| Reverse description | The goddess Alexandria stands facing, her head turned to the left, wearing her distinctive cap in the form of an elephant's scalp, a hallmark attribute of the city's personification on Alexandrian coinage. She holds ears of corn in her right hand and a military standard in her left, symbolising the fertility and martial power of the city. The composition is typical of the Antonine-era Alexandrian series, with a commanding frontal figure set within a plain field. The regnal date L ΙΔ appears in the field, indicating the fourteenth year of Antoninus Pius's reign, corresponding to 150–151 AD. |
