| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Emperor Elagabalus facing right, seen from the rear, with youthful features and curly hair. The obverse legend in Greek characters surrounds the effigy, reading the emperor's titulature. The portrait is rendered in the typical Alexandrian provincial style, with bold relief and expressive detail characteristic of early 3rd-century Egyptian tetradrachm coinage. |
