| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Severus Alexander facing right, with drapery visible on the left shoulder. The imperial effigy is rendered in the typical provincial style of Mesopotamian colonial coinage, with a dotted border surrounding the field. The retrograde Greek legend runs around the bust, partially visible due to die wear and irregular flan. The portrait displays the youthful features characteristic of Severus Alexander's numismatic iconography. |
