| Obverse description | Draped bust of Empress Tranquillina facing right, wearing a diadem, rendered in the provincial style characteristic of Alexandrian coinage. The effigy is set within a circular border, with the legend ϹΑΒ ΤΡΑΝΚΥΛΛΕΙΝΑ ϹΕΒ distributed around the periphery in Greek characters. The portrait displays the characteristic late-Severan artistic conventions of the Alexandrian mint, with careful attention to the empress's elaborate coiffure and imperial drapery. |
