| Obverse description | Laureate and cuirassed bust of Emperor Trajan facing right, depicted with paludamentum (military cloak), the figure rendered in three-quarter rear view — a relatively uncommon portrait convention in provincial Roman coinage. The obverse legend encircles the bust in Greek characters, identifying the emperor by his imperial title. |

| Additional information |
Phoenice was a city in Epirus, not to be confused with the Levantine region — the ethnic legend ΦΟΙΝΕΙΚΑΙωΝ reflects civic pride in a community whose origins were likely tied to Phoenician colonial tradition, though the city's Hellenistic identity was well established by the imperial period. Local bronze issues of this type circulated within a narrow regional economy and rarely traveled far.
