| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate head of Emperor Trajan facing right, rendered in the provincial style typical of Pontic civic coinage. The portrait exhibits the emperor's characteristic strong profile with laurel wreath crowning the head. The legend AVG GER DAC appears in the field, referencing his titles of Augustus, Germanicus, and Dacicus. The flan is irregular and the surfaces show heavy wear and patination consistent with an ancient bronze provincial issue. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Sinope's colonial year 149 — rendered here as ANN CXXIX or CXLIX depending on the reading — anchors this issue to the civic calendar the city maintained from its refoundation as a Roman colony under Julius Caesar in 45 BC. Trajan held a particular connection to Sinope: its position on the Black Sea made it a critical supply and communication node during his Dacian campaigns, the first of which concluded in 102 AD.
Provincial bronzes from Sinope in this period are frequently underweight and poorly centred, a known characteristic of the local workshop rather than post-mint damage.
