| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Uranius Antoninus facing left, rendered in the Roman imperial portrait tradition with finely detailed pauldron and drapery folds visible at the shoulder. The effigy displays a youthful countenance with laurel wreath, characteristic of usurper coinage struck in the eastern provinces. The surrounding legend runs clockwise in Latin capitals along the coin's border. The strike, typical of hammered Syrian workshop production, is slightly irregular at the flan's edges. |
