| Obverse description | Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust of Emperor Macrinus facing right, depicted from the rear in the so-called 'heroic' three-quarter perspective. The imperial effigy displays characteristic military attire with the paludamentum draped over the cuirass. The encircling Greek legend runs around the bust in the field. |
