| Obverse description | Laureate bust of the emperor Trajan facing right, rendered in the Alexandrian provincial style. The legend surrounds the bust in Greek characters, partially legible, reading ΑΥΤ ΤΡΑΙΑΝ ΑΡΙ ϹΕΒ ΓΕΡΜ ΔΑΚΙΚ with a possible ΠΑΡ abbreviation, citing his imperial titles. The coin shows typical surface patination and wear consistent with circulation, with some areas of the legend obscured. The portrait displays the characteristic strong features of Trajan as represented in Alexandrian coinage of his later regnal years. |
