| Obverse description | Laureate and cuirassed bust of Emperor Trajan Decius facing left, rendered in three-quarter frontal view, with paludamentum visible at the shoulder. The imperial effigy displays characteristic mid-3rd century provincial styling, with a bold, slightly crude rendering typical of Mesopotamian civic issues. A Greek imperial titulature legend encircles the bust within a dotted border, reading from upper left and continuing around the full periphery of the flan. |
