| Obverse description | Radiate and cuirassed bust of Emperor Trajan Decius facing right, depicted in three-quarter frontal view, with paludamentum visible at the shoulder. The imperial effigy is rendered in the provincial style characteristic of Phrygian civic coinage, with the radiate crown emphasizing the emperor's quasi-divine status. A circular Greek legend surrounds the bust within a beaded border, reading ΑΥΤ Κ Γ Μ Κ ΤΡΑ ΔΕΚΙΝ ϹΕ, providing the full imperial titulature. The die-work, though robust, reflects the output of a provincial mint operating under civic authority rather than an imperial workshop. |
