| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Pupienus facing right, viewed from the rear, with paludamentum visible over the left shoulder. The imperial effigy displays detailed engraving of the cuirass and drapery folds characteristic of Alexandrian provincial coinage. The surrounding Greek legend reads Α Κ Μ ΚΛω(Δ) ΠΟΥΠ ΜΑΞΙΜΟϹ ϹΕ(Β), identifying the emperor by his full imperial titulature. The coin is framed by a distinctive dotted border, a hallmark of the Alexandrian mint's tetradrachm coinage. |
