| Obverse description | Laureate, half-length bust of Emperor Trajan facing right, nude with aegis draped over the left shoulder. The portrait is rendered in the imperial Roman style characteristic of Alexandrian civic coinage, with the laureate wreath denoting imperial dignity. The surrounding field carries the Greek imperial titulature legend. The bust type, combining nudity with the aegis, reflects the heroic divine iconography common to Egyptian provincial bronze coinage of the period. |
