| Obverse description | Laureate, draped bust of Emperor Trajan facing right, with aegis or drapery visible on the left shoulder. The effigy is rendered in the characteristic Trajanic style, with a sturdy neck and slightly idealized portrait features. A circular Latin legend surrounds the bust within a beaded border, partially legible on this worn specimen. |

| Reverse description | Neptune, the god of the sea, seated left upon a rock or throne, holding a dolphin head-downward in his extended right hand and resting his left hand upon a long trident planted on the ground. The figure is rendered in a classical style typical of Roman provincial coinage from the Corinthian mint, reflecting the city's maritime heritage. The colonial legend is distributed in the field around the deity. |
