| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Septimius Severus facing right, occupying the central field of the flan. A circular Greek legend surrounds the effigy, partially visible due to the coin's irregular flan and worn surfaces. The portrait exhibits the typical style of provincial bronze coinage from the eastern Roman frontier, with a bearded visage consistent with known representations of Severus. The legend reads AVTKOKΡAT CEOYHΡOC, identifying the emperor by his imperial title. |
