| Obverse description | Laureate and cuirassed bust of Emperor Aurelian facing right, depicted in three-quarter view from the front, with the emperor shown bearded. The circular Greek legend surrounds the effigy, reading Α Κ Λ ΔΟΜ ΑΥΡΗΛΙΑΝΟϹ ϹΕΒ, identifying the emperor by his imperial titles. The portrait is rendered in the typical Alexandrian style of the period, with bold, slightly stylized features characteristic of third-century provincial coinage. |
