| Obverse lettering | ΑΥΤ Κ Μ Α Ϲ ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟϹ (Translation: Emperor Caesar Marcus Aurelius Severus Alexander Augustus) |
| Reverse description | Tyche of the city of Carrhae seated left upon a rocky outcrop, holding corn ears in her extended hand, symbolising the city's fertility and prosperity. At her feet stands a lighted altar. In the exergue, a river god swims left, personifying the local waterway associated with Carrhae. The reverse legend, distributed around the field, records the colonial and metropolitan status of Carrhae within Mesopotamia, with the final letter Λ remaining of uncertain interpretation. The composition reflects standard iconographic conventions of Mesopotamian provincial coinage under the Severan dynasty. |
