Tralles, a prosperous city in the Maeander valley, held the right to strike civic bronze under Roman oversight through its local magistrates — the grammateus being one such figure, here recorded in the garbled form ΤΡΑΛΙ rather than the expected ΤΡΑΛΛΙΑΝΩΝ. Whether this reflects a die-cutter's error, an abbreviation pushed too far, or damage to the working die is unresolved, but the anomaly is consistent across known specimens of this magistrate issue and not an individual striking accident.
