| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate and draped bust of Emperor Trajan facing right, with aegis or drapery visible on the left shoulder, rendered in the vigorous provincial style characteristic of Cyrenaican issues. The effigy displays characteristic portrait features of Trajan including a strong jaw and close-cropped hair beneath the laurel wreath. A Greek legend encircles the bust along the periphery within a beaded border, reading ΑΥΤΟΚΡ ΚΑΙϹ ΝΕΡ ΤΡΑΙΑΝΟϹ ϹΕΒ ΓΕΡΜ ΔΑΚ, abbreviating his imperial titulature as Autocrator Caesar Nerva Traianus Sebastos Germanicus Dacicus. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Bare head of Zeus Ammon facing right, depicted with the characteristic ram's horn curling above and behind the ear, identifying this syncretic Libyan-Greek deity who was closely associated with the Cyrenaica region. The god is shown with a full wavy beard and flowing hair, rendered in a bold and somewhat archaizing provincial style. The Greek legend ΔΗΜΑΡΧ ΕΞ ΥΠΑΤ Ε, referencing Trajan's tribunician power and fifth consulship, is distributed around the field within a beaded border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Cyrenaica had been a Roman province since 74 BC, bequeathed by its last Ptolemaic king, but civic bronze coinage in the region retained a distinctly Greek character well into the imperial period. This piece dates to Trajan's fifth consulship, a tenure that overlapped with his Dacian wars and the aggressive provincial reorganization that followed. The pairing of Cyrenaica with Crete as a single administrative unit under a propraetorian governor meant that coins attributable to one half of the province are rarely straightforward in their civic attribution.
