In this drachm we find Hermanubis, previously seen in simple bust in the specimen No. 392 of the collection, while here has been portrayed in his full-length, half-naked and with all his attributes: lotus flower on head, caduceus and palm branch. The jackal at his feet, which usually accompanies him, is here out of sight at lower left.
