| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Severus Alexander facing right, seen from the front, rendered in the provincial Greek style typical of Phrygian civic coinage of the Severan period. The obverse legend encircles the imperial effigy, identifying the emperor by his full titulature in Greek characters. The portrait displays careful detail in the laurel wreath and the layering of drapery over the cuirass. |
