| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Severus Alexander facing right, seen from the rear, with paludamentum visible over the left shoulder. The emperor's portrait is rendered in the provincial style characteristic of Mesopotamian civic coinage, with visible layering of the cuirass beneath the draped mantle. The obverse legend runs around the periphery in Greek characters. The coin is struck within a circular border. |
