| Obverse description | Laureate and cuirassed bust of Emperor Trajan Decius facing right, depicted from the front, with a gorgoneion (Medusa head apotropaic device) prominently displayed on the cuirass. The portrait renders the emperor in the official imperial manner characteristic of mid-3rd century provincial bronze coinage. The obverse legend encircles the bust in Greek characters, providing the emperor's full titulature. The engraving exhibits the bold, somewhat provincial style typical of Lydian civic mint production under Decius. |
