Obverse description	Draped bust of Empress Plotina facing right, her hair elaborately coiffed in the distinctive Trajanic court style with waves swept back and piled high. The effigy is rendered in the standard provincial workshop manner of Asia Minor, with softly modeled drapery visible at the shoulder. The Greek legend ΠΛΟΤΕΙΝΑ ϹΕΒΑϹ (Plotina Augusta) encircles the bust within the coin's field.

Reverse description	A veiled goddess stands facing in a frontal pose, her right hand raised in a gesture of benediction or salutation, while her left hand holds a cista mystica — the sacred wicker basket associated with mystery cult rites, particularly those of Demeter or Kybele. The figure is rendered in a static, hieratic style typical of provincial Troas coinage. The ethnic legend ΑϹϹΙΩΝ (of the Assians) appears in the field or around the deity, identifying the issuing civic authority.
