| Obverse description | Laureate half-length bust of the emperor Trajan facing right, clad in cuirass and aegis, rendered in the provincial style characteristic of Alexandrian coinage. The legend encircles the bust in Greek characters, identifying the emperor with his full imperial titulature. The portrait displays the strong, idealized features typical of Trajanic numismatic art, with the laurel wreath clearly indicated despite the worn surfaces. The aegis, a divine attribute associated with military prowess, is visible draped across the chest. The overall style reflects the Alexandrian mint's adaptation of Roman imperial portraiture. |
