| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Severus Alexander facing left, portrayed from the rear in a three-quarter perspective, a relatively uncommon artistic convention in provincial Roman coinage. The legend encircles the effigy, naming the emperor with his full imperial titulature in Greek characters. The drapery and cuirass are rendered in the provincial style typical of Mesopotamian civic issues of the Severan period. |
