| Reverse description | Draped bust of the personification of Alexandria facing right, wearing the distinctive kausia or pileos in the form of an elephant's scalp — a celebrated type emblematic of the city's Macedonian heritage and its association with Alexander the Great. The drapery is visible at the shoulder, rendered with crisp folds. The regnal date L Ϛ (year 6, corresponding to 102–103 AD) appears divided in the field to left and right of the bust. The type is enclosed within a beaded border. |
