| Obverse description | Laureate, half-length nude bust of Emperor Trajan facing right, with an aegis draped over the left shoulder. The effigy is rendered in the characteristic Alexandrian provincial style, with bold relief and expressive portraiture. The obverse legend encircles the bust in Greek characters, reading ΑΥΤ ΤΡΑΙΑΝ ϹΕΒ ΓΕΡΜ ΔΑΚΙΚ, identifying the emperor with his principal titles of Augustus, Germanicus, and Dacicus. |

| Reverse description | Sarapis stands facing with head turned to the right, holding a cornucopia in his left arm; to the right, Homonoia stands facing left, also holding a cornucopia; between the two deities, an altar occupies the central ground line. The composition reflects the syncretic religious iconography characteristic of Alexandrian coinage, combining the Egyptian deity Sarapis with the Greek personification of Concord. The regnal date legend L ΙΖ appears in the field, denoting year 17 of Trajan's reign. |
