| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Septimius Severus facing right, with a short curled beard rendered in the characteristic Severan style. The imperial effigy is depicted with strong portraiture features, the laurel wreath clearly articulated atop the head. A circular Greek legend surrounds the bust in the field, reading from upper left. The flan is struck on a broad, slightly irregular planchet with an overall green patina and areas of red cuprite. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Nude Heracles standing to the right, engaged in combat with the Nemean lion in the First Labour scene; the hero grasps the lion and subdues it with his powerful arms, his knotted club visible behind him. The composition is rendered in a dynamic, energetic style typical of provincial bronze coinage of Asia Minor. The reverse field is heavily encrusted with patina, partially obscuring the surrounding legend. The type reflects the civic pride of Alinda in associating its coinage with Heraclean mythology. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Alinda was a small Carian city whose civic coinage under Septimius Severus named the local magistrate responsible for the issue — Ar. Kor. Menippos, whose abbreviated titles appear in the legend. Provincial bronzes of this size from Alinda are genuinely scarce; the city never achieved the minting volume of neighboring Alabanda, under whose conventus it fell for Roman administrative purposes.
