| Reverse description | Right-facing bust of the syncretic deity Hermanubis, combining attributes of the Greek Hermes and Egyptian Anubis, wearing a tall kalathos adorned with a taenia and lotus petals at the front. To the right of the bust, a winged caduceus and a palm branch are depicted, symbols referencing Hermes and victory respectively. The reverse field is relatively plain, with the regnal year legend placed prominently. The overall style reflects the distinctive Greco-Egyptian artistic tradition of Alexandrian coinage. |
