| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Severus Alexander facing right, with traces of drapery visible at the shoulder truncation. The portrait is rendered in the provincial style characteristic of Achaean civic coinage, with the emperor's youthful features lightly articulated. The obverse legend, partially preserved, reads ΑΥ[Τ?] ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟϹ, distributed around the bust in Greek script. The flan is irregular and the surface shows wear consistent with circulation, with the legend partially obscured. |
