| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Trajan facing right, rendered in a barbarous imitative style with simplified facial features. The effigy displays a radiate or laureate head with slightly crude workmanship characteristic of Germanic tribal copies. A degenerate legend surrounds the bust, composed of pseudo-Latin letterforms imitating the imperial titulature of Trajan. The overall style reflects a provincial or barbarous imitation of Roman denarii struck under Trajan (98-117 AD), with legible but distorted epigraphic elements. |
