| Obverse description | Laureate, draped bust of Emperor Elagabalus facing right, portrayed with youthful features. The imperial effigy displays characteristic Alexandrian provincial style with finely rendered hair and laurel wreath. The Greek legend encircles the bust, reading partially Α ΚΑΙϹΑΡ ΜΑ ΑΥΡ ΑΝΤΩΝΙΝΟϹ ΕΥϹΕΒ, identifying the emperor by his titles. The die work reflects the workshop conventions of the Alexandrian mint during the early third century AD. |
