| Obverse description | Radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Trebonianus Gallus facing right, portrayed from behind in the so-called rear-view convention typical of provincial bronze coinage of this period. The radiate crown is rendered with distinct spikes, and the paludamentum is visible over the cuirass. The encircling Greek legend identifies the emperor by his full titulature. The flan is irregular and the surfaces heavily patinated, rendering fine detail difficult to discern. |
