| Obverse description | Laureate head of Emperor Otho facing right, rendered in the provincial Egyptian style typical of Alexandrian coinage. The portrait displays the emperor's characteristic features with a laurel wreath crowning the head. The surrounding Greek legend identifying the emperor as Marcus Otho Caesar Augustus runs along the periphery of the flan. The irregular flan edge is characteristic of hammered provincial bronze coinage of this period. |
