| Obverse description | Draped bust of Julia Domna facing right, her hair elaborately waved and coiled in the typical Severan fashion, with a stephane or diadem visible at the crown. The empress is depicted with characteristic striated drapery over the shoulder and chest. The Latin legend IVLIA PIA AVG encircles the portrait within a beaded border. The portrait is rendered in the provincial style characteristic of the Pontic mint at Sinope, with bold, slightly stylized features. The flan shows slight irregularity consistent with hand-struck provincial bronze coinage of the early third century AD. |
