Nacolea was a minor Phrygian city whose civic coinage under Trajan reflects the decentralized minting activity Rome permitted across the Greek East — local bronzes like this one circulated within the immediate region and were never intended for wider use. The reference to ΝΑΚΟΛΕΩΝ in the legend is the genitive plural form standard to civic issues of the conventus of Synnada, a judicial district centered on a city roughly 60 kilometers to the southwest.
The III#2660 reference places this within Imhoof-Blumer's corpus of Greek imperial provincials — a classification system now largely superseded by RPC but still used for rarer civic types where RPC coverage remains incomplete.
