Reverse:
Bust of Alexandria
right, wearing chlamys and elephant cap, ΑΥΤΟΚΡΑ, to
right LΙΒ.
NOTE: This coin
is an ancient counterfit. It is struck, not cast, and if one looks
at the obverse, the legend and portrait are mirror-imaged. The die
engraver must have been looking at an official piece and neglected
to mirror-image the die. The reverse die is correct, although the
portrait and lettering differ from offical style.
