| Reverse description | The personification of Aegyptos reclines to the left in a languid pose, holding a sistrum — the sacred rattle associated with the cult of Isis — in her raised right hand, while her left arm rests upon a wicker basket overflowing with fruit, symbolizing the agricultural fertility of the Nile province. An ibis, the sacred bird of Thoth and emblem of Egypt, stands to the left, typically depicted upon a low column. The composition belongs to Hadrian's celebrated 'Provinces' series of bronze coinage, commemorating his imperial travels, and the reverse field carries the senatorial authorization legend AEGYPTOS S C. |
