| Obverse description | Bare-headed and draped bust of Lucius Aelius Caesar facing right, rendered in the provincial Alexandrian style with somewhat coarse but expressive workmanship. The portrait displays characteristic features of the young Caesar, with short hair indicated by fine relief strands across the crown. The legend encircles the bust in Greek characters. The coin exhibits a heavy green patina consistent with Egyptian burial conditions, with surfaces showing typical Alexandrian fabric. |
