| Obverse description | Laureate head of Emperor Trajan facing right, depicted in the Roman imperial tradition with characteristic closely cropped hair beneath the laurel wreath. A circular Greek legend surrounds the portrait in the field, reading ϹΕΒΑϹΤΟϹ (Augustus). The portrait style is consistent with provincial coinage of the Conventus of Alabanda during the Trajanic period. |

| Additional information |
Heraclea Salbace was a small Carian city whose civic coinage under Trajan reflects the broader administrative reorganization of the conventus system in Asia Minor — Alabanda serving as the judicial center to which Heraclea Salbace was attached for Roman administrative purposes. Local bronze issues of this type rarely traveled far, circulating within the immediate region and often surviving in poor condition precisely because they were used hard and never saved.
