| Reverse description | The Nile god Nilus reclines to the left, his aged, bearded figure draped and partially nude, resting upon the back of a hippopotamus. In his raised right hand he holds a reed stalk, while his left arm supports a large overflowing cornucopia, symbolising the river's life-giving fertility. The date regnal formula L Γ (Year 3) appears in the left field, denoting the third year of Gordian III's reign in the Alexandrian calendar. A beaded border encircles the reverse field. |
