| Obverse description | Laureate head of Severus II as Caesar facing right, rendered in low relief with finely engraved hair beneath the laurel wreath. The portrait displays the characteristic Tetrarchic style of simplified, blocky facial features. The obverse legend encircles the bust, running clockwise from the lower left. No drapery or cuirass is visible, presenting a bare-shouldered bust truncation typical of this Tetrarchic issue from Siscia. |

| Reverse description | The Genius of the Roman People (Genius Populi Romani) stands facing left in a frontal pose, depicted as a youthful, idealized male figure. He wears a modius (grain measure) atop his head as a symbol of abundance, and a chlamys (military cloak) draped over his left shoulder, leaving the rest of the body nude. In his right hand he holds a patera (libation bowl) for ritual pouring, while his left arm supports a cornucopiae (horn of plenty). The reverse legend encircles the field, with the mint mark appearing in the exergue. |
