The monogram ΝΚΡ appears in the lower field, likely denoting a local magistrate or civic official responsible for the issue. The composition reflects the Hellenistic civic iconographic tradition common to Carian provincial coinage of the Augustan period. |

| Additional information |
Tabae was a minor Carian city whose coins from the Augustan period reflect the complex renegotiation of civic identity under Roman provincial reorganization. The conventus of Alabanda served as the administrative district within which Tabae operated, and local silver issues of this type were produced under civic authority rather than direct imperial mint control — a distinction that made provincial silver coinage from Asia Minor legally and administratively distinct from the Roman denarius circulating elsewhere.
