| Obverse description | Laureate, draped bust of Emperor Trajan facing right, rendered in the characteristic Roman imperial portrait style with short hair beneath the laurel wreath. The encircling Greek legend runs along the periphery of the flan, partially preserved, identifying the emperor with his full titulature. The portrait displays the characteristic strong features associated with Trajanic coinage, with the neck and paludamentum (military cloak) visible at the truncation. |

| Obverse lettering | ΑΥ ΚΑΙ ΘΕΟΥ ΥΟΝ (sic) ΝΕΡΒ ΤΡΑΙΑΝΟϹ ϹΕΒ ΓΕΡΜ ΔΑΚΙ (Translation: Emperor Caesar, son of a god, Nerva Trajan Augustus, Germanicus, Dacicus) |
| Reverse description | The Emperor, clad in full military attire including cuirass and paludamentum, stands facing with head turned to the left. His outstretched right hand gestures toward a trophy erected to his right, at the base of which a barbarian captive kneels in submission facing left, hands likely bound. The composition is a standard imperial victory type, emblematic of Trajan's Dacian campaigns, and is framed by the ethnic legend of Clazomenae in the field. |
