| Obverse description | Draped bust of Julia Domna facing right, her hair elaborately waved and drawn back in the characteristic Severan style. The empress is depicted with drapery over the shoulder, rendered in the provincial Greek artistic tradition. The obverse legend runs around the periphery of the flan in Greek characters. The coin shows typical characteristics of a Lydian provincial issue, with the flan being somewhat irregular in form. |
