| Reverse description | Emperor Trajan, laureate and wearing the toga, standing upright in a quadriga advancing to the right. He holds an eagle-tipped sceptre in one hand and a branch in the other, symbols of imperial authority and victory. The regnal date legend appears in the field, following the Alexandrian convention of dating coins by regnal year. The composition reflects the triumphal iconography common to Trajanic provincial coinage celebrating his military victories. |
