| Aversbeschreibung | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Severus Alexander facing right, rendered in the provincial style typical of Cappadocian civic coinage. The emperor's effigy displays a laurel wreath and paludamentum over the cuirass, with the portrait exhibiting the youthful features characteristic of Alexander's early reign. The surrounding Greek legend partially encircles the bust, reading from upper left to right across the field. |

| Reversbeschreibung | Three bound ears of grain (wheat or barley) tied together at the stalks, displayed upright and filling the central field — a powerful agricultural symbol referencing Cappadocia's fertility and the prosperity of the metropolis of Caesarea. The legend surrounds the device, citing the metropolitan status of Caesarea and the regnal year Η (year 8, corresponding to 228-229 AD). The design is typical of civic bronze issues struck in Cappadocia under the Severan dynasty. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Caesarea in Cappadocia was the principal mint of that province under Roman rule, operating with unusual consistency through the Severan dynasty while much of the eastern coinage was being reorganized. The city's mint dated issues by regnal year rather than by era, making the EΤ Η (year 8) designation here a precise anchor to 228–229 AD — the eighth year of Severus Alexander's reign. That precision is rare in provincial bronze and makes Cappadocian issues unusually useful for chronologists.
