| Reverse description | Draped bust of the god Sarapis facing right, wearing the distinctive kalathos (modius) on his head and adorned with a taenia. The bust is rendered in the Hellenistic-Egyptian artistic tradition typical of Alexandrian coinage, emphasizing the syncretic deity's dignified and frontal bearing. The date regnal legend L Α appears in the field, denoting Year 1 of the reign, corresponding to 161 AD. The reverse design reflects the prominent role of Sarapis as a patron deity of Alexandria and the Ptolemaic-Roman religious tradition. |
