| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Septimius Severus facing right, viewed from the rear, rendered in the characteristic provincial style of the Mysian mint at Abydus. The emperor's paludamentum is visible over the left shoulder, and the laureate wreath crowns his head. A Greek legend encircles the bust in the field. The flan is irregular and the strike somewhat weak, typical of small provincial bronze issues of this period. |
