| Obverse description | Bare-headed, draped and cuirassed bust of Severus Alexander facing right, seen from the rear, with the emperor's features rendered in the provincial style characteristic of Mesopotamian civic coinage. The obverse legend ΜΑ ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟϹ is disposed around the bust in Greek characters. The portrait exhibits the youthful physiognomy typical of Severus Alexander's representations on eastern provincial issues. The field is plain, and the coin's flan shows the irregular edges common to hammered bronzes of this series. |
