| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Caracalla facing right, rendered in three-quarter view from the rear, with paludamentum visible over the left shoulder. The effigy displays the characteristic youthful features of Caracalla as Caesar or young co-emperor, with a finely rendered laurel wreath crowning the head. A circular Greek legend surrounds the bust, running from left to right along the coin's periphery. The flan is broad and irregular, typical of provincial bronze coinage struck at Ephesus during the Severan period. The overall style reflects the high-quality die-cutting associated with the Ephesian mint in this era. |
