| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Severus Alexander facing right, seen from the rear, rendered in the provincial portrait style typical of Ephesian coinage of the Severan period. The legend encircles the effigy, identifying the emperor by his full imperial titulature in Greek characters. |

| Reverse description | Reclining river god depicted bearded and semi-draped, turned to the left, holding a reed in one hand and a cornucopia in the other, his weight resting upon an overturned vase from which water flows, a motif commonly associated with river deities on Ephesian provincial coinage. The reverse legend in the field identifies Ephesus by its prestigious title of four-time neocorate. The composition reflects the Hellenistic artistic tradition maintained in Ionian civic coinage. |
