| Obverse description | Radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Severus Alexander facing right, seen from the rear, with the radiate crown emphasizing his imperial and solar associations. The legend encircles the bust within the field, rendered in Greek script. The portrait exhibits the characteristic provincial die-cutting style of Bithynian civic coinage from the Severan period. |
