obv. AVT KM CEVH [ALEZANDROC KAI IOVLIA] MAMAIA
        confronted busts of Severus Alexander, draped and cuirassed, laureate, r., and Julia Mamaea, draped and wearing stephane, l.
rev. VP FIR FILOPAPPOV MARKIANOPOLITW / N

Legends only partially seen, but the legible parts of the legend confirms Pick's assumption that it is Mamaea not Maesa on the obv.
