| Obverse description | Laureate, nude bust of Emperor Trajan facing right, with an aegis draped over the left shoulder. The finely rendered laurel wreath crowns the imperial effigy, characteristic of Alexandrian provincial coinage of the period. A Greek legend encircles the bust in the field, identifying the emperor with his full titulature. The portrait exhibits the bold, high-relief modelling typical of Trajanic-era Alexandrian die engravers. |

| Reverse description | Eirene, the personification of Peace, depicted standing facing with head turned to the left. She holds ears of grain in one hand and a double cornucopia (diceras) in the other, emblems of abundance and prosperity associated with the goddess. The regnal year date L Κ (Year 20) appears in the field alongside the legend ΕΙΡΗΝΗ, situating the issue firmly within the Alexandrian dating system. The reverse composition reflects the standard Alexandrian iconographic programme for personifications under Trajan. |
