| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Trajan Decius facing right, depicted from behind to show the elaborate musculature of the cuirass. The effigy displays characteristic portrait features of Decius including a short beard, with paludamentum visible over the left shoulder. The Greek imperial titulature legend runs around the periphery of the field, bordered by a dotted grènetis. |

| Reverse description | Tyche, the civic goddess of fortune, stands in full figure facing left, draped in a long chiton and himation. She holds a ship's rudder in her right hand, resting it on the ground, symbolising guidance of the city's fate, while her left arm cradles a cornucopia overflowing with fruits and grain, emblematic of abundance. The figure occupies the centre of the field with the encircling Greek civic legend distributed around the periphery within a dotted border. |
