| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Emperor Trajan facing right, depicted nude with an aegis draped over the left shoulder, rendered in the vigorous Antonine provincial style characteristic of Alexandrian coinage. The portrait displays strong facial features with the characteristic short-cropped hair of Trajan beneath the laurel wreath. The Greek imperial titulature legend runs around the periphery of the flan. The flan is broad and irregular, typical of Alexandrian bronze issues of the period. |

| Reverse description | Standing figure of Harpocrates of Canopus in his syncretic form, depicted with a human upper body and crocodile lower body, facing left upon a rectangular base or basis. The deity raises the right index finger to his lips in his characteristic gesture of silence, while the left arm holds a cornucopia. This hybrid iconography reflects the fusion of Egyptian and Hellenistic religious traditions prominent in Alexandrian civic coinage. The regnal year date appears in the field. |
