| Obverse description | Laureate head of Emperor Trajan facing right, rendered in the provincial Greek style typical of Carian civic coinage. The portrait is set within a circular field bordered by a Greek imperial titulature legend. The surface exhibits the characteristic flan irregularity of hammered provincial bronze coinage, with patina obscuring portions of the design. |

| Reverse description | Draped bust of Athena facing left, wearing a crested Attic helmet and aegis, rendered in the local provincial idiom characteristic of Halicarnassian civic coinage under Trajan. The civic legend ΑΛΙΚΑΡΝΑϹΕΩΝ ΑΡϹΗ is disposed around and beneath the bust, identifying the issuing city. The overall composition reflects the standard iconographic program of Carian provincial bronzes of the early second century AD. |
