| Reverse description | Three standing figures in high relief within a beaded border: at left, Africa personified wearing an elephant-skin headdress; in the centre, Annona standing and holding a cornucopiae; at right, a semi-draped seated figure, likely representing a river god or province, resting against a large vessel. Annona extends her hand toward the seated figure in a gesture of bounty. |
