| Reverse description | Central type depicting a Hemhem crown — the distinctive Egyptian triple-atef composite crown consisting of three feathered plumes mounted on ram's horns with a solar disk — rendered frontally in relief. The crown is flanked in the field by the mint letter L to the left and the regnal year numeral to the right, following standard Alexandrian provincial coinage practice. The design is characteristic of the Egyptian religious iconography incorporated into the Alexandrian imperial bronze series under Trajan. |
