| Reverse description | Draped bust of Sarapis facing right, his characteristic kalathos (modius) crown prominently surmounting his head, with long flowing hair and a full beard rendered in fine detail typical of Alexandrian workshop craftsmanship. The date formula L Γ (regnal year 3, corresponding to 223-224 AD) appears in the left and right fields respectively, flanking the divine bust. The design is enclosed within a dotted border, and the figure conveys the syncretic majesty of the Greco-Egyptian deity. |
