| Obverse description | Draped and diademed bust of Empress Tranquillina facing right, her hair elaborately coiffed and bound with a diadem. The effigy is rendered in the provincial Roman style typical of Pontic civic issues, with visible drapery folds over the shoulder. The encircling Greek legend names the empress in the nominative, reading ϹΑΒΕΙΝΙΑ ΤΡΑΝΚΥΛΙΝΑ ϹΑΙΒΑϹΤΗ. The flan is broad and slightly irregular, consistent with hammered provincial bronze coinage of the mid-third century AD. |
