| Reverse description | The goddess Isis, wearing the basileion (a crown composed of horns, solar disk, and feathers), is enthroned and seated to the right. Upon her knee sits the infant Harpocrates, crowned with the double crown of Egypt (skhent), holding a lotus flower and raising his right hand in the characteristic gesture of silence. A hawk is perched on the throne behind Isis, serving as a divine symbol associating the scene with Horus and Egyptian solar theology. The regnal date L ΚΓ (Year 23) appears in the field, corresponding to the twenty-third year of Antoninus Pius's reign (159–160 AD). The composition reflects the deliberate syncretism of Greco-Roman and Egyptian religious iconography characteristic of Alexandrian coinage. |
