| Reverse description | Double cornucopiae tied together at their bases with a royal diadem and arranged symmetrically, their mouths overflowing with a profusion of fruits including a pomegranate, pyramidal cakes, and various other offerings; a cluster of grapes hangs from the rim of each horn. The monogram ΠΡ appears in the right field, serving as a mint or magistrate control mark. Below and to the right, the regnal year Γ and the mint identifier ΙΟΠ (Joppa) are inscribed, providing precise chronological and geographic attribution. The composition is rendered with bold, high-relief die work typical of the finest Ptolemaic gold coinage. |
