| Beschrijving keerzijde | Eagle displayed, seen from the front with wings fully spread and head turned to the right, holding a wreath in its beak — a common device on Mesopotamian provincial coinage. Between the eagle's legs is a rectangular object of uncertain meaning, possibly a table or altar. The reverse legend, referencing the emperor's tribunician power and fourth consulship, is distributed in the field around the eagle. The overall design is consistent with the iconographic conventions of the Roman provincial mint at Rhesaena. |

Rhesaena was a Mesopotamian city whose brief window of coin production was entirely contingent on Roman military occupation — it struck civic issues only while the region was under Roman administrative control following Septimius Severus's Parthian campaigns. The legend ΔΗΜΑΡΧ ΕΞ ΥΠΑΤΟϹ ΤΟ Δ records Caracalla's fourth consulship, held in 213 AD, giving this piece a narrower date range than the broader reign suggests.
Billon coinage from Mesopotamian civic mints is notoriously variable in silver content, reflecting local metal supplies rather than any imperial standard.
