Obverse description	Laureate bust of Emperor Trajan facing right, with drapery visible on the left shoulder, rendered in the confident provincial style characteristic of Phrygian civic coinage. The effigy displays the emperor's characteristic close-cropped hair beneath the laurel wreath, with slightly idealised features. A circular Greek legend surrounds the portrait, distributed along the periphery of the flan.

Reverse description	Zeus Laodiceus depicted standing facing, his head turned to the left, holding an eagle perched on his extended right hand while his left hand rests upon a tall sceptre. The figure is rendered in the classical tradition, reflecting the civic religious importance of this deity as the patron god of Laodicea ad Lycum. The ethnic legend ΛΑΟΔΙΚΕΩΝ is inscribed in the field or along the periphery, identifying the issuing city.
