| Reverse description | The sacred mountain Argaeus (Mount Erciyes), the iconic volcanic peak venerated by the city of Caesarea, is depicted rising prominently from a base line, its rocky slopes rendered with multiple jagged peaks in the characteristic Cappadocian provincial style. Atop the summit rests a wreath, a frequent attribute on Caesarean coinage symbolizing divine favor. The surrounding Greek legend identifies the issuing metropolis and records the regnal year Eta (Year 8), consistent with the reign of Severus Alexander. |
