| Obverse description | Laureate and cuirassed bust of Emperor Septimius Severus facing right, depicted from the front with military dress visible. The effigy displays the characteristic beard and strong features associated with Severan portraiture on provincial bronzes. The flan is irregular and heavily patinated, with the relief of the bust moderately preserved beneath a green-brown encrustation. No legible surrounding legend is discernible on this specimen. The overall style is consistent with the provincial hammered coinage of the Mesopotamian mint at Carrhae. |
