| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Severus Alexander facing left, rendered from the rear to display the elaborately decorated shield held by the emperor. The obverse legend encircles the effigy in Greek characters, identifying the emperor by his full imperial titulature. The portrait reflects the characteristic style of provincial bronze coinage of the Severan period, with careful attention to military regalia. |
