| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Severus Alexander facing right, portrayed in three-quarter view from the rear, a rendering characteristic of Pamphylian provincial coinage of the Severan period. The imperial effigy displays the radiate wreath of laurel and the paludamentum secured at the shoulder, with visible traces of body armour beneath. The surrounding Greek legend identifies the emperor by his imperial titulature. The flan is irregular and slightly porous, consistent with local provincial bronze casting of the period. |
