| Obverse description | Laureate half-length bust of the emperor Trajan facing right, clad in cuirass and aegis, rendered in the characteristic Alexandrian provincial style. The laureate wreath is clearly visible atop the imperial effigy, with detailed hair and facial features typical of Trajanic portraiture. The cuirass and aegis lend the bust a martial character befitting Trajan's titles as conqueror of Germania and Dacia. A Greek legend runs around the periphery of the flan, identifying the emperor by his honorific titles. The flan is broad and slightly irregular, with a dark green and reddish-brown patina throughout the field. |

| Reverse description | Two standing female personifications occupy the reverse field. Eirene (Peace) stands to the right, holding ears of corn, while Homonoia (Concord) stands to the left beside her, bearing a double cornucopia. The two figures are rendered in the Hellenistic tradition characteristic of Alexandrian coinage, their drapery rendered with fluid lines. The regnal year, expressed in the Egyptian calendar as year 16 (L ΙϚ), appears in the field alongside the reverse legend. The composition emphasizes the ideological pairing of Peace and Concord as hallmarks of Trajan's prosperous reign. |
