| Obverse description | Laureate head of the Emperor Trajan facing right, rendered in the provincial style characteristic of Alexandrian coinage. The portrait displays a radiate laurel wreath and a draped shoulder, with the effigy positioned prominently in the center of the flan. A Greek imperial legend encircles the bust, reading around the periphery of the coin. The overall style reflects the Greco-Roman artistic tradition of the Alexandrian mint during the early second century AD. |

| Reverse description | An eagle rendered in bold relief stands facing left upon a low base or ground line, its head turned sharply to the right in the characteristic Alexandrian fashion. The wings are spread wide and outstretched in a display posture, with feather detail visible despite the coin's worn surfaces. The field is otherwise plain, with the regnal year legend placed to the right. This eagle type is a recurring emblem of imperial authority on Alexandrian provincial bronzes of the Trajanic period. |
