| Reverse description | The personification of Aegyptos reclines to the left, rendered as a draped female figure holding a sistrum in her raised right hand and resting her left arm upon a wicker basket overflowing with fruit, symbolic of the province's famed agricultural abundance. An ibis, the sacred bird of Thoth and an iconic emblem of Egypt, stands to the left, typically depicted atop a low column. The composition belongs to Hadrian's celebrated 'Provinces' series, issued to commemorate his imperial journeys, and exhibits the refined allegorical iconography characteristic of Antonine-era Roman senatorial bronze coinage. The senatorial authorization mark S C appears in the field. |
