| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Marcus Aurelius facing right, with characteristic beard and finely rendered hair. The imperial effigy is portrayed in the Antonine style, with paludamentum visible at the shoulder. A Greek legend encircles the bust along the outer border, set within a beaded or dotted border typical of Alexandrian provincial coinage. The die work, though worn, reflects the accomplished engraving tradition of the Alexandrian mint. |
