| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Septimius Severus facing right, rendered in the provincial style characteristic of the Ephesian mint. The portrait displays the emperor's distinctive short curled beard and hair. The surrounding Greek legend is disposed in a circular arrangement around the bust within the field. The flan is irregular and the surfaces carry a dark green patina consistent with prolonged burial. |
