| Beschrijving voorzijde | Turreted and draped bust of Tyche facing right, wearing a mural crown with crenellations, her hair rendered in wavy locks beneath. A vexillum (military standard) inscribed AV CO rises behind her left shoulder, serving as a prominent civic symbol. The legend ALEX TRO runs in the field to the right of the bust. The portraiture is executed in the provincial style characteristic of the Trajanic Decianic-Gallan period at Alexandria Troas, with bold relief and simplified drapery folds at the truncation. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A large eagle stands facing with wings fully spread, its head turned to the left. The bird grips a bucranium (ox skull) in its talons, a distinctive and recurring reverse type of the Alexandrian Troas colonial coinage emblematic of sacrificial imagery. The legend COL AVGO TRO is distributed in two arcs across the upper field, flanking the eagle's outstretched wings. The die engraving displays strong, well-modelled feather detail on the wings, typical of the competent provincial workshop at Alexandria Troas during the mid-third century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Alexandria Troas was a Roman colony — one of the few in Asia Minor granted that status — and its colonial coinage reflects that distinction with stubborn consistency through the third century. Trebonianus Gallus reigned barely two years before being murdered by his own troops in favor of Aemilian, which compressed the window for this issue considerably. The colony struck bronze through multiple emperors of the crisis period, and the Adramyteum conventus issues are frequently underrepresented in major collections relative to their historical interest.
