| Obverse description | Laureate head of Trajan facing right, rendered in the compact style typical of small Alexandrian bronze coinage. The portrait is heavily worn, with details of the laurel wreath and facial features largely obscured by surface corrosion and patina. No legible legend is present on this small denomination, consistent with comparable Trajanic Alexandrian issues of this series. |

| Reverse description | Crocodile standing to the right, depicted in the characteristic Nilotic style employed on Alexandrian bronze coinage of the imperial period. The date legend L ΙΑ (regnal year 11) appears in the field, corresponding to the eleventh year of Trajan's reign (107-108 AD). The surface is heavily patinated and worn, rendering finer details of the crocodile's scales and the lettering only partially discernible. |
