| Obverse description | Radiate, cuirassed bust of Emperor Trajan Decius facing left, depicted three-quarter view from the front, with the emperor bearing a spear over his right shoulder and a shield ornamented with a gorgoneion on his left arm. The portrait exhibits the characteristic realism of mid-third-century provincial coinage, with the radiate crown signifying imperial rank. The obverse legend surrounds the bust in Greek characters, identifying the emperor by his full titulature. |
