| Reverse description | Draped bust of Athena facing right, wearing an aegis over her chest and a Corinthian helmet adorned with a griffin beneath the crest, a motif characteristic of Alexandrian coinage. The goddess is rendered in the local Hellenistic artistic tradition, with finely detailed helmet plumage. The regnal year date appears in the left field as L Η (Year 8), corresponding to the eighth year of Severus Alexander's reign. The reverse field is plain, focusing attention on the divine bust and the dating formula standard to Alexandrian tetradrachms. |
