| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Numerianus facing right, rendered in the late Roman provincial style characteristic of Alexandrian coinage. The effigy displays the emperor in military dress with paludamentum visible at the shoulder. A Greek legend surrounds the bust within a beaded border, reading AK M A NOVMEPIANOC K C, identifying the emperor by his imperial titulature. The portrait exhibits the compact, stylized facial features typical of third-century Alexandrian die engraving. |
