| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Emperor Trajan facing right, the precise bust type being uncertain due to the heavily worn and corroded state of the flan. The effigy displays the characteristic portrait style of Trajanic Alexandrian coinage, with the laureate wreath visible in outline. The surrounding legend is largely illegible as a result of surface degradation. |

| Additional information |
Year 14 of Trajan's reign corresponds to a period of intense administrative activity in Egypt, where the Alexandria mint operated under strict imperial oversight as the sole producer of coinage for the province — a closed currency system that prevented Roman imperial coin from circulating freely within Egypt's borders. The "L ΙΔ" regnal date formula is characteristic of Alexandrian bronzes, which were dated by Egyptian regnal year rather than Roman consular convention.
