| Obverse description | Draped bust of Faustina II (attributed as Faustina I in some references), facing right, with elaborately waved and coiled hair. The effigy is rendered in a provincial style characteristic of Mesopotamian civic coinage, with soft facial features and drapery visible at the truncation. The Greek legend surrounds the bust, with the distinctive alpha letters formed as lambdas, a notable regional epigraphic feature. The field shows the typical uneven flan surface of hammered provincial silver. |
