Obverse description Draped bust of Julia Mamaea, mother of Severus Alexander, facing right, with elaborately coiffed hair rendered in fine parallel ridges and wearing a diadem. The effigy displays provincial die-cutting characteristics typical of Bithynian civic coinage, with the bust truncation visible at the lower edge. The encircling Greek legend identifies the subject as Julia Mamaea Augusta. The portrait is rendered in a competent but somewhat provincial style, with clearly delineated facial features and layered drapery folds across the shoulder.
