| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Septimius Severus facing right, depicted from behind, with the cuirass and paludamentum rendered in characteristic provincial style. The obverse legend encircles the bust, identifying the emperor by his full imperial titulature. The portraiture reflects the mature provincial workshop style of Heraclea Pontica, with strong, individualized facial features typical of Severan-era coinage. |
