| Obverse description | Laureate, draped bust of Emperor Trajan facing right, rendered in the provincial Greek style characteristic of the Lydian conventus. The portrait displays the emperor's characteristic strong features with a laureate wreath encircling his head. The surrounding legend, partially visible along the periphery, reads ΑΥΤ ΚΑΙ ΝΕΡ ΤΡΑΙΑΝΟϹ ϹΕ ΓΕΡ ΔΑΚΙΚ, identifying him as Emperor Caesar Nerva Trajan Augustus Germanicus Dacicus. The coin exhibits a green patina with moderate wear consistent with circulation. |

| Reverse description | Hades and Kore (Persephone) seated together in a quadriga drawn by four horses galloping to the right, a mythological scene closely associated with the cult of the Kore at Iulia Gordus. A monogram appears in the left field, likely a civic magistrate's symbol. The two-line Greek legend is distributed around the periphery identifying the issuing city. The composition is dynamic and typical of provincial Lydian bronze coinage under Trajan, with the chariot wheel clearly visible beneath the figures. |
