| Obverse description | Laureate and cuirassed bust of Emperor Aurelian facing right, rendered in the three-quarter frontal perspective characteristic of Alexandrian tetradrachms of this period. The emperor is depicted bearded, wearing a radiate or laurel crown and military cuirass, with paludamentum fastened at the shoulder. The Greek imperial legend encircles the portrait, reading Α Κ Λ ΔΟΜ ΑΥΡΗΛΙΑΝΟϹ ϹΕΒ, identifying Aurelian as Augustus. The workmanship reflects the distinctive provincial style of the Alexandrian mint. |
