| Obverse description | Laureate and cuirassed bust of Emperor Aurelian facing right, with the head turned slightly forward in the characteristic Alexandrian provincial style. The effigy displays a short beard, and the cuirass is rendered with careful detail at the shoulder pauldron. The circular Greek legend surrounds the bust, reading Α Κ Λ ΔΟΜ ΑΥΡΗΛΙΑΝΟϹ ϹΕΒ, identifying the emperor with his imperial titulature. The coin's fabric is typical of late third-century Alexandrian tetradrachms, with a broad flan and characteristically granular billon surface. |
