CAESAREA MARITIMA, SEVERUS ALEXANDER AE

Sofaer 85, Kadman 96, 24.2mm, 11.12 grams, Struck Circa. 222 - 235 C.E.
 
Obverse: Draped and cuirassed bust of Alexander to right, inscription around
 
Reverse: Eagle with head to left, supporting wreath with SPQR in center, inscription around

Reverse: Eagle standing left, head to right, supporting wreath with Caesarean Triad in center, inscription around

EXCELLENT portraiture of Alexander with the scarcer cuirassed bust. The FINEST we have seen for this normally poor coin and better than all of the examples in Sofaer!
