| Reverse description | Bust of Hermanubis facing right, the syncretic Graeco-Egyptian deity combining Hermes and Anubis, wearing a kalathos (basket crown) adorned with a lotus petal, with a palm branch visible over his shoulder. In the field before the bust appears a winged caduceus entwined with a palm branch, emblematic of both Hermes's herald staff and Egyptian symbolism. The date legend L ΙΒ appears in the field, denoting regnal year 12 of Severus Alexander (232–233 AD). The composition reflects the distinctive blending of Hellenic and Egyptian religious iconography characteristic of Alexandrian coinage. |
