| Obverse description | Laureate and cuirassed bust of Emperor Aurelian facing right, depicted with short beard, the portrait rendered in the characteristic Alexandrian provincial style. The effigy is shown from a frontal perspective with the cuirass visible at the shoulder. The Greek imperial titulature legend runs around the periphery of the flan, partially legible on this worn example. |
