| Obverse description | Laureate head of Trajan facing right, rendered in the provincial style typical of Alexandrian coinage. The portrait is poorly preserved with significant surface wear, though the laureate wreath is discernible. No visible legend surrounds the effigy, consistent with the small module of this issue. |

| Reverse description | A sistrum depicted in the center of the field, the sacred rattle associated with the cult of Isis widely represented on Alexandrian bronze coinage. The date inscription L ΙΔ (regnal year 14) appears around or below the device, identifying the coin's year of issue within Trajan's reign. The sistrum is rendered schematically, with the handle and frame visible despite heavy patination and wear. |
