| Beschrijving voorzijde | Draped bust of Julia Domna facing right, her hair elaborately waved and gathered at the nape in the characteristic Severan style. The legend runs around the bust in Greek characters. The flan is irregular and the strike moderately worn, consistent with provincial bronze coinage of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Petra retained its civic coinage rights well into the Severan period, a privilege tied directly to the city's status as a metropolis of Arabia Petraea — a designation formalized under Hadrian and jealously maintained. Severus, consolidating eastern support during his war against Pescennius Niger, had strong incentive to affirm such honors in provincial cities along the Arabian frontier.
The metropolis title in the legend is the detail worth noting: not all Arabian civic issues under Severus carry it explicitly, making the epigraphic formula here a marker of civic rank, not decoration.
