| Obverse description | Laureate and cuirassed bust of Septimius Severus facing right, depicted from behind, with the paludamentum visible at the shoulder. The emperor's characteristic curly hair and full beard are rendered in fine relief, typical of the Severan portrait style. A circular Greek legend runs along the beaded border, identifying the emperor with his full imperial titulature. The coin bears a post-antique hole pierced through the right field, suggesting secondary use as a pendant or amulet in later periods. |
