Obverse description	Laureate head of Emperor Trajan facing right, rendered in the provincial style typical of Cilician civic coinage. The portrait displays the characteristic features of the emperor with a laurel wreath crowning his head. The surrounding Greek legend identifies the emperor as Caesar Nerva Trajan. The flan is irregular and the surfaces show the rough handling characteristic of provincial bronze issues of the early second century AD.
