| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Severus Alexander facing right, the cuirass adorned with a Gorgoneion on the breastplate as seen from the front. The emperor's portrait is rendered in the conventional provincial style of the Severan period, with crisp facial detail characteristic of the Pergamene conventus. The obverse legend encircles the bust, identifying the emperor by his full imperial titulature. |

| Reverse description | Artemis, the divine huntress, depicted in dynamic motion as she drives a biga drawn by two stags galloping to the right. The goddess reaches back with her right hand to draw an arrow from the quiver at her shoulder while grasping a bow in her left hand, evoking her role as divine archer and patroness of the hunt. The composition reflects the vigorous artistic tradition of Greek provincial coinage from the Pergamene conventus, with the stags rendered in lively detail. The reverse legend, distributed across the field, records the name and office of the local magistrate responsible for the coin's issue. |
