Reverse description Jugate or facing busts of the co-ruling Roman emperors Septimius Severus, laureate, facing right, and Caracalla, draped, facing left, displayed in the customary Bosporan dynastic homage format acknowledging Roman suzerainty. The Bosporan regnal year date ZqΥ (497 in the Bosporan Era, corresponding to AD 200–201) appears in the lower field. The reverse composition reflects the political alliance between the Bosporan Kingdom and the Severan dynasty, a recurring feature of electrum stater coinage of this reign.
