| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Severus Alexander facing right, seen from the rear, with paludamentum visible over the left shoulder. The effigy displays the characteristic portrait style of Alexandrian tetradrachms, with the laurel wreath rendered in fine relief atop the imperial head. A Greek legend encircles the bust within the border of the flan, reading Α ΚΑΙ ΜΑΡ ΑΥΡ ϹΕΥ ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟϹ, with the regnal year indicator (Ε) appearing in the field. The coin's surface shows the typical billon fabric of Alexandrian imperial issues of the mid-third century. |
