Reverse description	Jugate busts of Ptolemy I Soter and his wife Berenice I facing right, both diademed and draped, rendered in a stately Hellenistic portrait style. Ptolemy I appears in the foreground with a diadem and short curling hair, while Berenice I is depicted immediately behind him, also diademed with her hair neatly arranged. The composition closely mirrors the obverse, presenting the deified royal couple as divine predecessors. The legend ΘΕΩΝ (meaning 'of the gods') arcs across the upper field. The design is framed by a beaded border.
