| Obverse description | Laureate bust of the emperor Trajan facing right, depicted nude with an aegis draped over the left shoulder, rendered in the bold portraiture style characteristic of Alexandrian provincial coinage. The legend encircles the bust in Greek characters, reading ΑΥΤ ΤΡΑΙΑΝ ϹΕΒ ΓΕΡΜ ΔΑΚΙΚ, acknowledging his imperial titles of Augustus, Germanicus, and Dacicus. The facial features show strong, individualistic modeling consistent with Trajanic portrait conventions. The aegis, a divine attribute, underscores the emperor's quasi-divine status within the Egyptian provincial context. |
