| Obverse description | Bare laureate head of Emperor Elagabalus facing right, with naturalistic facial features rendered in the provincial style typical of Mesopotamian civic coinage. The portrait is set within a beaded border, with the Greek imperial titulature legend running around the periphery of the flan. The effigy displays the characteristic youthful features associated with Elagabalus's coinage, with drapery visible at the truncation of the bust. |
