| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Elagabalus facing right, depicted from the rear, with the paludamentum visible over the left shoulder. The imperial effigy is rendered in the characteristic provincial style of Bithynian coinage. A Greek legend encircles the bust along the periphery of the flan, identifying the emperor by his adoptive nomenclature. The flan is irregular and shows typical characteristics of provincial hammered coinage of the Severan period. |
