| Obverse description | Draped bust of Faustina II facing right, her hair elaborately waved and drawn back in the characteristic Antonine style. The effigy is rendered in the provincial Greek manner, with drapery folds visible at the shoulder and chest. The Greek legend ΦΑΥϹΤΙΝΑ ϹΕΒΑϹΤΗ encircles the portrait, partially legible around the field. The workmanship reflects the local Edessan mint tradition, with a somewhat broad and flat portraiture typical of Mesopotamian provincial coinage of the Antonine period. |
