| Obverse description | Laureate head of the emperor Trajan facing right, depicted with characteristic short hair beneath the laurel wreath. The bust is bare or lightly draped at the shoulder truncation. The imperial legend surrounds the effigy, reading partially from left to right around the field. The portrait displays the confident, realistic style typical of Roman provincial coinage struck under Pergamene conventus authority during the Trajanic period. |

| Reverse description | Apollo Citharoedus depicted standing facing, with head turned to the left. The god holds a patera in his extended right hand and a kithara (lyre) in his left hand, referencing his role as divine patron of music and divination. The figure stands in a composed, hieratic posture consistent with civic bronze coinage of Asia Minor during the Imperial period. The ethnic legend of the issuing city is inscribed around the reverse field. |
