| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Severus Alexander facing right, depicted three-quarter from the rear in the characteristic late Severan provincial style. The portrait displays the youthful features associated with Alexander's coinage. The obverse legend, partially retrograde, runs around the bust and reads IM M AV SEV AEXAND(ER), identifying the emperor by his full titulature as Imperator Marcus Aurelius Severus Alexander. |
