Severus Alexander. AD 222-235. AR Denarius (21mm, 3.53 g, 1h). Rome mint. 14th emission, AD 231. Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust right / Jupiter in fighting stance left, head right, hurling thunderbolt. RIC IV 235; BMCRE 790; RSC 76. Near EF.
An interesting coin in that the celator chose to depict the cuirass on Alexander’s left shoulder versus the normal treatment on his right shoulder, which is bare.
