| Obverse description | Laureate and cuirassed bust of Severus Alexander facing right, depicted from behind in three-quarter rear view, with the emperor's head turned to show the profile. The paludamentum drapes over the left shoulder, and the cuirass with scaled or pteryges detailing is visible at the lower truncation. The Greek imperial legend encircles the portrait within the field. |

| Reverse description | A female deity, likely a local goddess or Cybele, seated frontally upon a high-backed throne, wearing a kalathos (cylindrical crown) upon her head. She holds a cantharus in one hand and a flower or fruit in the other. Flanking the enthroned figure on either side stands a bull, each animal turning its head inward toward the goddess. The composition reflects a provincial civic iconography associated with the Scepsian Dardanians, and the magistrate legend occupies the field around the central design. |
