| Obverse description | Bare laureate head of Emperor Trajan facing right, rendered in provincial style with characteristic strong features. The surrounding Greek legend reads ΤΡΑΙΑΝΟϹ ΚΑΙϹΑΡ ΔΑΚΙ, identifying the emperor by his title Dacicus. The flan is irregular and the surfaces exhibit heavy patination consistent with a provincial bronze issue struck under the Conventus of Adramyteum. |

| Reverse description | Standing figure of Priapus, the ithyphallic deity particularly venerated at Lampsacus, depicted facing left in the field. The god is shown in his traditional cultic form, his exaggerated attributes serving as the primary iconographic identifier of this important local divinity. The ethnic legend ΛΑΜΨΑΚΗ appears in the field, asserting the civic identity of the issuing mint. The die work is consistent with provincial production of the Trajanic period. |
