| Reverse description | An eagle stands facing left with wings spread, rendered in bold relief in the Ptolemaic tradition, holding a caduceus in its talons. The Greek legend ΚΑΙΣΑΡΟΣ ΑΥΤΟΚΡΑΤΟΡΟΣ ('of Caesar Imperator') is inscribed around the periphery, with the regnal year indicator Π (pi, denoting year 80 of the Ptolemaic era or a year marker) visible to the right of the eagle. The composition is characteristic of Alexandrian bronze coinage of the early Roman period, blending Roman imperial titulature with the established Ptolemaic eagle type. |
