| Obverse description | Laureate draped bust of Emperor Trajan facing right, rendered in high relief with finely engraved facial features characteristic of early 2nd-century provincial coinage. The laureate wreath is rendered in careful detail, with ribbon ties visible behind the neck. The circular Greek legend runs along the border from lower left, reading ΑΥΤΟΚΡ ΚΑΙΣ ΝΕΡ ΤΡΑΙΑΝΟΣ ΣΕΒ ΓΕΡΜ, identifying the emperor by his full imperial titulature. The portrait exhibits the strong, authoritative style associated with Trajanic provincial issues from the Cilician mint of Tarsus. |
