| Obverse description | Laureate head of Emperor Trajan facing right, rendered in a naturalistic Roman provincial style with finely detailed curled hair beneath the laurel wreath and a slightly draped left shoulder visible at the bust truncation. The Greek legend encircles the portrait along the periphery of the flan, reading partially around the obverse field. The portrait exhibits strong, individualistic facial features characteristic of Trajanic coinage, including a prominent brow and defined jawline. |
