| Reverse description | Nemesis standing facing, head turned to the right, turreted, placing her right hand upon her breast and holding a cubit rule (measuring rod) in her left hand, symbolizing justice and retribution. At her feet to the right, a griffin crouches beside a wheel, both attributes closely associated with the cult of Nemesis. The reverse exergue is plain, and the ethnic legend ΒΑΡΗΝΩΝ is inscribed in the field, identifying the issuing city of Baris in Pisidia. The composition is typical of Pisidian civic bronze iconography under the Severan dynasty. |

| Additional information |
Baris was a minor Pisidian city — the reference to Lycia et Pamphylia reflects Roman provincial administration, not the cultural identity of the mint. The city struck bronze coinage sporadically under the Severan dynasty, with output closely tied to local civic ambitions rather than imperial directive. Issues under Severus Alexander are rare enough that die links between specimens have been documented, suggesting extremely limited production runs.
