| Obverse description | Draped bust of Tyche facing right, wearing turreted crown, with a vexillum (military standard), possibly inscribed, depicted behind her in the field. The legend ALEXA TRO is distributed around the bust, referencing the city of Alexandria Troas. The style is consistent with provincial bronze coinage of the mid-third century AD, with a modestly detailed portrait characteristic of issues from the Conventus of Adramyteum. |

| Reverse description | An eagle is depicted in flight facing right, its wings spread, clutching a bucranium (ox skull) firmly within its talons. The design occupies the central field with minimal exergual detail, as is typical of Alexandrian Troas civic bronzes of this period. The legend CO AVG(O) TR, referencing the Colonia Augusta Troas, is distributed around the eagle in the field. The bold, somewhat schematic rendering of the eagle is characteristic of the local die-cutting tradition of the mid-third century AD. |
