| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Severus Alexander facing right, depicted from behind. The imperial effigy is rendered in typical provincial style, with the laureate wreath, military cuirass, and draped paludamentum clearly delineated. The circumferential Greek legend runs around the bust within a beaded border. |

| Reverse description | A legionary aquila (eagle standard) stands centrally between two upright military signa, each topped by a wreath, the ensemble displayed on a low base or ground line. The composition reflects the strong military associations of the Nicaean civic coinage under Severus Alexander. The ethnic legend ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ is distributed across the field, partially above and partially below the standards, within a plain border. |
