As noted by Imhoof-Blumer, and reiterated by RPC, The 
obverse bust has clear Trajanic features. The date had 
been misread as Claudian. It is, in fact, Trajanic. The 
obverse has his features, with a similarity to other
coins of Trajan from Leucas. The reverse has the facial features and hairstyle of Plotina - the emperor and 
empress as the sun and the moon.
