| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate bust of Emperor Trajan facing right, depicted nude with an aegis draped over the left shoulder, rendered in the confident provincial style characteristic of Alexandrian coinage. The portrait displays the emperor's characteristic features with a wreath of laurel leaves encircling the head. The Greek legend runs around the periphery of the flan, partially visible despite the heavy patination and surface wear. The flan is irregularly shaped, as is typical of struck Alexandrian bronze issues of this period. |

Year 12 of Trajan's reign — the Alexandrian dating system ran on regnal years, and the L ΙΒ reverse inscription fixes this piece to 108–109 AD with unusual precision. Alexandria's mint was one of the few in the empire operating a closed currency system: Egyptian bronze did not circulate freely outside the province, and outside coinage was systematically withdrawn and reminted upon entry. The practical effect was a captive monetary population and a mint that answered more directly to the prefect of Egypt than to Rome.
