| Obverse description | Laureate head of the emperor Caracalla facing right, rendered in the provincial style characteristic of the Mesopotamian mint at Edessa. The portrait displays the emperor's characteristic short beard and strong facial features, with a laurel wreath crowning the head. The Latin legend M AVR ANTONINI AVG runs around the periphery of the flan. The flan is irregular in shape, as typical of hammered provincial issues of this period. |
