The reverse of this tetradrachm presents the greek-ellenistic deity Ptah-Efesto (Volcan) that recalls in parallel that Egyptian-pharaonic mummiform Ptah-Sokar-Osiris depicted on Hadrian tetradrachm issued on the same year 12 of reign of the ruler (cf. Emmett 883 and Staffieri, Alexandria in Nummis, pp. 123-124). Both deities are related to funeral worship.
