The portrait displays a clearly defined laurel wreath and strong facial features consistent with Trajanic iconography. A partial Greek legend surrounds the portrait in the field, reading ΑΥΤΟ ΚΑΙϹΑΡΟϹ ΤΡΑΙΑ, identifying the emperor by his imperial title. |

| Reverse description | A dolphin entwined around an anchor, a classic Hellenistic maritime symbol frequently employed by Nicopolis as a civic type alluding to its coastal location on the Ambracian Gulf. The device is centrally placed in the field, with the dolphin's body curving prominently around the shank of the anchor. The ethnic legend ΝΕΙΚΟΠΟΛΕωϹ encircles the type, identifying the issuing city of Nicopolis in Epirus. |
